The 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 10 Cast Just Got Announced & Fans Will Be SO Excited
As fans continue to speculate who will win this season of All Stars, there's even more news for Drag Race fans to obsess over. On Thursday, Feb. 22, VH1 announced the queens competing on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10. Yes, this milestone season just became even more exciting. Dropping exactly a month before the season officially kicks off on Thursday, March 22, the casting news gives you plenty of time to start picking favorites. Or, if you're rooting for all of them, at least you can make some predictions about who will be America's Next Drag Superstar.
Along with the return of the competition, VH1 is bringing back the beloved aftershow, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, which gives fans a backstage look at what exactly goes on between those lip-sync battles and Snatch Games. Plus, each of the episodes will be 90 minutes long this time around. So if you combine Untucked with the episode, you'll be getting two hours of Drag Race goodness per week.
In a press release, RuPaul, the award-winning host and executive producer, teased what may be the most over-the-top season yet:
“To celebrate a decade of 'Drag Race' we’ve pulled out all the stops. The queens, the challenges and the shenanigans are off the mother-tucking charts. And I’m thrilled that 'Untucked' is back on VH1. ‘Cause, henny, if you ain’t watching 'Untucked,' you’re only getting half the story. Okurrr?”
You hear that? You should probably prepare accordingly. And the first step in bracing yourself for all those "shenanigans" is seeing who exactly will be lip-syncing for their lives.
So without further ado, here's the list of the 14 queens competing in Season 10 of Drag Race.
Asia O'Hara
Asia is joining the competition from Dallas, TX. According to her bio, she designs costumes for ice skaters and color guard teams as a side hustle. You can follow her on Instagram and Twitter at @AsiaOharaLand.
