RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 11 drops its full cast

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 11 is officially on the way, and the full cast has been announced. Paramount+ confirmed that 18 fan-favorite queens will return to the Werk Room for a two-episode premiere on Friday, May 8. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked will also return the same day, giving viewers behind-the-scenes access to the drama between challenges.

The announcement came shortly after Myki Meeks was crowned the winner of Season 18 of the main series, giving fans almost no time to recover before the next chapter begins.

How the tournament works

The season brings back the Tournament of All Stars format, which made its debut during All Stars 10. The 18 competing queens will be divided into three groups of six and will face off in their own bracket across three episodes each. The queens who earn the most points in each group will advance to the semi-finals, where they compete against the top performers from the other groups. The season concludes with a Lip Sync Smackdown finale, where the last queens standing battle for a $200,000 grand prize and a place in the coveted Drag Race Hall of Fame.

Meet the All Stars 11 cast

A’Keria C. Davenport (Season 11, All Stars 6) returns as one of the most decorated competitors in the cast. The Texas-based pageant queen made strong impressions across both of her previous runs and is coming back to finish what she started.

April Carrión (Season 6) has spent the years since her debut building an international performance career. The Puerto Rican queen has evolved considerably since her first time on the show and arrives with sharper looks and renewed confidence.

Aura Mayari (Season 15) is a high-concept Chicago performer with a theatrical, otherworldly aesthetic. Since her Season 15 run, she has continued building her presence on the Los Angeles performance circuit.

Crystal Methyd (Season 12) was one of the most distinctive competitors of her original season, known for offbeat aesthetics and unpredictable performances. The Season 12 finalist has built a global following and returns with the same creative spirit.

Dawn (Season 16) brings a high-concept, mischievous energy rooted in her Brooklyn drag scene. The quirky competitor from Season 16 left an impression with her unfiltered attitude and returns with the same approach.

Hershii LiqCour-Jeté (Season 16) describes her first run as a trial and is back to prove the point. The Los Angeles-based queen is known for a polished, glamorous drag style and a grounded personality.

Jasmine Kennedie (Season 14) has spent time since her debut sharpening her performance skills through “Drag Race Live” in Las Vegas. She arrives as a more complete competitor with strong comedy, dance, and runway abilities.

Joey Jay (Season 13) returns with noticeably more developed drag after years of refining her craft on her own terms. The Season 13 contestant comes back with fresh energy and a more defined point of view.

Kennedy Davenport (Season 7, All Stars 3) is one of the most experienced competitors in the cast, having come close to winning on multiple occasions. Fresh from “Drag Race Live” in Las Vegas, the Texas queen arrives with something to prove.

Lucky Starzzz (Season 17) is among the newest queens in the cast, having competed just last season. Known for a club-kid, kitsch-heavy aesthetic, she is returning quickly to build on her recent momentum.

Morgan McMichaels (Season 2, All Stars 3) is one of the longest-tenured Drag Race veterans in the field, having first competed over 15 years ago. A recent Entertainer of the Year winner, she returns with experience and competitive drive.

Morphine Love Dion (Season 16) earned the title of Lip Sync Assassin during her original season and comes back with a focus on performance and presentation. The Miami-based queen is a fan favorite with a devoted following.

Shuga Cain (Season 11) left behind a corporate career for her first Drag Race run and built a reputation for comedy and runway elegance. She returns with more seasoning and the same warmth that made her a fan favorite.

Silky Nutmeg Ganache (Season 11, All Stars 6) is one of the most recognizable personalities in Drag Race history, having appeared across the main series, All Stars, and several franchise spinoffs. An author, chef, and entrepreneur, she returns as a fully realized public figure with unfinished business in the competition.
