The first two episodes of The Kardashians is available to stream now on Hulu.

Drag Race All-Stars

Get ready for a brand new season of Drag Race (with some familiar faces.) The popular reality TV competition series has many iterations, but none as beloved as the “all-stars” seasons. These reunite fans with their favorite queens as they compete for the ‘All Star’ title, and this year’s season may be the most exciting yet.

This season is comprised of “all winners.” That’s right, every queen competing for the crown has either won on a traditional season of Drag Race or is an all-star themselves, making it one of the most competitive (and legendary) seasons yet. The full list of queens includes fan favorites Raja, Jinkx Monsoon, Monét X Change, Trinity the Tuck, Yvie Oddly, The Vivienne, Jaida Essence Hall, and Shea Couleé.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars premieres May 20 on Paramount+.

The series includes a mix of stars from years past, bringing back ‘MVPs’ for what is shaping up to be a major season. Per the official teaser for the season, this year will, “change the game as you know it.”
