How To Watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 9 Online
Watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 9: Preview
Mama Ru is back with eight Drag Race alumnae for a fierce new season of All Stars. And this time, they’ll be deploying their Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent for good: competing, not only for a spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame,” but to win a prize of $200,000 for their chosen charity. Racers, start your engines as we explain below how to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 9 online and from anywhere.
Of the returning queens turning gag-worthy lewks for a good cause, there’s Jorgeous, the pint-sized beauty from Season 14; the repeatedly meme-able Season 10 legend Vanessa “Vanjie” Matteo; and the iconic Gottmik, known for their gag-worthy fashion sense. They’re among the contestants hoping to snag that $200,000 booty to give to their nominated charity: The National Alliance on Mental Illness, Trans Lifeline, and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, respectively.
Unlike All Stars Season 7, this isn’t an all-winners season. So, among those thirsting for RuDemption are “the sweet southern belle from the ATL,” Angeria Paris VanMicheals, alongside Nina West, Season 11’s Miss Congeniality, and Season 1’s Shannel. Shannel was one of the first queen’s to enter Ru’s werk room back in 2009 (and which has now had more facelifts than all the contestants combined).
Ru herself will be joined by squirrel friends Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews and more to judge the queens…well, you know what! Plus, Drag Race stans can expect a hot gaggle of celebrity guests to join them, too: including actress Keke Palmer (Jordan Peele’s Nope), Connie Britton, Teen Wolf actor and model Colton Haynes, and Everything Everywhere All At Once Oscar-nominee Stephanie Hsu.
