Queens across the world assemble the ultimate drag army, as international history will be made in the trailer for Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World season 1. Hosted by Brooke Lynn Heights, an all-new title and crown are forged by the game's contenders. Drag Race contestants from the US, the UK, and RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under (Australia), who span all brands and bodies duke it out against their Canadian counterparts. Viewers will find out which country will take claim of the throne.
The "True, North, Strong and Fierce" queens of Canada (Icesis Couture, Kendall Gender, Stephanie Prince, and Rita Baga) have a respectable track record on RuPaul's newest rendering. The squad consists of a winner, runner-up, dark horse, and host of the spin-off, Drag Race Belgique (Belgium). Their target is to defend the crown against global intruders. The trailer teased "a game within a game," implying a bygone Drag Race elimination twist may reemerge to hinder the competition; however a competition of such proportion warrants a novel, unheard-of game changer. While an unprecedented twist alters the course of conflict, Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World will make history in more ways than one.
Monumental Moves Will Be Made On Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World
Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World will welcome Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, as a guest judge. Not only is it the first appearance for "The Right Honourable" Prime Minister himself, but no RuPaul's Drag Race franchise has ever hosted a world leader. Other stars who will reside on the judge's include Canada's Drag Race season 1 champion Priyanka, singer and songwriter Anjuli, fashion reporter Jeanne Baker, and celebrity choreographer Hollywood Jade. With over twenty-two global renditions thus far, "herstory" will be made.
RuPaul's Drag Race: Down Under cast member, Anita Wigl'it, takes the spotlight as the first Australian competitor, in another unprecedented move for the show. Among her on the cast of competing Drag Race all-stars are American queens and fan-favorites Rajah O'Hara, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache. These all-stars have both competed two and three times, respectively. Vanity Milan and Victoria Scone from RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 3 represent Britain in the clash for "Queen of the Mothertucking World." In a season of firsts, an international sister may have a chance to snatch the crown.
First-time celebrity appearances, world-class stakes, and an all-new twist ensure a grueling competition ahead. Nine "legendary legends" duke it out on Drag Race vs. The World season 2's killer roster. In an all-out war for the title of international supreme, the global drag throne is up for grabs on Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World.
Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. The World premieres Friday, November 18 at 9 p.m. EST, on Crave and WOW Presents Plus.
