New season, new format, new twist. Who will take home $200,000 and enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame?
A brand-new season of RuPaul's Drag Race (RPDR) All Stars drops tonight, just three weeks after the airing of the Season 17 finale that crowned Onya Nurve as America's next drag superstar. What's special about All Stars 10 is that it has a tournament format. Read on for everything to know about this plus the RPDR All Stars 10 release date, cast of queens, and more.
RPDR All Stars 10 release date
Episode 1 of RPDR All Stars 10 arrives on the night of May 9, 2025. Ahead of its release, the show released a first look that also went over the new Tournament of All Stars format.
RPDR All Stars 10 format explained
This season, fans can expect 12 episodes in total, with 18 returning competitors divided into groups of six over the course of three episodes. At the end of each bracket, the three highest-scoring queens advance to the semifinals.
These competitors must face off against other top queens from other brackets in challenges spanning two episodes. RPDR All Stars 10 then features a Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown for a prize of $200,000.
There's also a twist this All Stars season. "Every week, the top two queens will receive two points each. Those two queens will lip sync for the win, and the winner of the lip sync will receive an extra point plus a cash tip of $10,000," Rupaul said. "An additional four points will be awarded each episode. But more on that later."
As Laganja Estranja once said back in RPDR Season 6, "Oh, y'all wanted a twist, eh?"
