When will RPDR Season 17 episode 9 air? Here is what you can expect this Friday evening.
RuPaul's Drag Race (RPDR) Season 17 premiered on Jan. 3 on MTV. Since then, several episodes have been released on a weekly basis. Who will be crowned America's next drag superstar? Only time will tell. Read on for everything to know about the RPDR Season 17 episode release dates and details.
RPDR Season 17 release date
RPDR Season 17 kicked off on Jan. 3. New episodes drop weekly every Friday at 5 p.m. PT on MTV and 8 p.m. ET on Crave. Each week, the queens compete to win a Maxi Challenge. And if they’re not rated high or safe, then they risk landing in the bottom and going home. With the Badonka Dunk Tank no longer in play, the stakes are even higher than ever. One mistake, and a contestant could be lip-syncing for their life and writing a lipstick mirror message.
