The wait is finally over, and the fans can now get to know the queens who will be competing on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 for a spot in the Hall of Fame. The All-Stars spin-off has always been about second chances. Year after year, beloved queens from the Drag Race series get to come back for another chance at snatching the crown. After all, this is all about a queen's legacy.
At the moment, the elusive RuPaul's Drag Race Hall of Fame features Chad Michaels, Alaska, Trixie Mattel, Monet X Change, Trinity The Tuck, and Shea Couleé. And in 2021, All Stars will feature more returning queens than ever before. Specifically, Drag Race All Stars 6 has cast a record-breaking 13 queens, which might indicate that this cycle will be much longer than prior seasons. Now, let's take a look at all the queens who will be returning for All Stars 6, as well as the season's premiere date and episode schedule.
Release Date & Episode Schedule
The RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 will premiere on Thursday, June 24, and it will air exclusively on the Paramout+ streaming service. Two episodes of All Stars 6 will come out on premiere day, and subsequent new episodes will be coming out every Thursday on a weekly basis.
A'Keria Chanel Davenport
The fans got to know A'Keria Chanel Davenport on Drag Race season 11. After winning two maxi challenges and landing in the Bottom Two twice, A'Keria made it to the grand finale. However, she lost part two of the Lip Sync For The Crown against Yvie Oddly, thus placing third/fourth on the show. Now, the body is back for All Stars 6!
Eureka
Eureka first competed on RuPaul's Drag Race season 9, where she was disqualified for a knee injury that needed further medical attention. As a result, RuPaul invited Eureka to come back for season 10 and, this time around, she got all the way to the finale. She lost that crown to season 10 winner Aquaria, but one can be certain that Eureka will be coming for her throne on All Stars.
Ginger Minj
Back in the day, there were many fans who thought that Ginger Minj should have won Drag Race season 7. So Ginger was brought back to compete on the second edition of All Stars, but the rush of filming both season 7 and All Stars 2 in the span of a year made her stumble and go home very early. Now, the uber-talented Ginger Minj is reclaiming her time and fighting for her rightful spot in the Hall of Fame.
Jan
The fans absolutely "felt the Jan-tasy" when New York City queen Jan was cast on Drag Race season 12, but it is safe to say that the judges didn't really see her full potential (which led to the face crack of the century). Nonetheless, All Stars 6 is the perfect opportunity for Jan to redeem herself with the judges and give the fans everything they want from her. This can truly be a wonderful redemption story for Jan.
Jiggly Caliente
With Jiggly Caliente, it's about to be "very Saint-Tropez" up on Drag Race All Stars 6. Since competing on RuPaul's Drag Race season 4, Jiggly has had a wonderful career that includes her recurring role of Veronica on the hit FX series Pose. Moreover, Jiggly is now a much more seasoned performer than she used to be, so the other queens better watch out for Ms. Caliente.
Kylie Sonique Love
OG Drag Race fans will absolutely season 2 bombshell Sonique, who now goes by the full drag name Kylie Sonique Love. Above all, Sonique is a dancing diva who can lip sync and perform like no other. Back in season 2, Sonique struggled with the process of disclosing that she was trans. So, this is a great chance for Sonique to come back and showcase not only her work in drag but also her confidence as a grown-up trans woman.
Pandora Boxx
Pandora Boxx was the original "comedy queen" of RuPaul's Drag Race. But back in season 2, that was still not a genre of drag that the judges were particularly praising or looking out for. On the other hand, the fans overwhelmingly embraced Pandora Boxx and urged the show to cast her on All Stars 1... only for Pandora to be forced to pair up with Mimi Imfurst and get sent home first. Now, Pandora Boxx is getting a chance to compete on All Stars 6 on her own .
Ra'Jah O'Hara
Unfortunately, there is usually a queen on Drag Race that ends up getting an unflattering edit on the show, and that was definitely Ra'Jah O'Hara's journey on season 11. Alas, Ra'Jah is now getting a second chance to fight for her crown on All Stars 6. In the past, Tatianna and Roxxxy Andrews used All Stars to successfully overcome the original "villain edit" they were given, so this is a great platform for Ra'Jah to rise to that challenge.
Scarlet Envy
Scarlet Envy wants All Stars, and All Stars wants her! The cast of All Stars 6 will also include Drag Race season 11 star Scarlet Envy, who received a lot of praise from the fans despite her short time on the show. Overall, Scarlet's aesthetic and charisma received a lot of praise, so a show like All Stars is a great chance for the fans to get even more from this queen.
Serena ChaCha
Serena ChaCha will walk into RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 with quite a lot to prove. The fans Serena as a very young queen who had just gotten out of art school and had a lot to say on Drag Race season 5. At the time, veteran queens like Detox, Roxxxy Andrews, and Alyssa Edwards steamrolled Serena ChaCha in the competition. Now that so many years have ed, it's Serena's turn to show how far she's come as a queen.
Silky Nutmeg Ganache
The fans fell deeply in love with Silky Nutmeg Ganache during her Meet The Queens video for Drag Race season 11, but when the season actually got going, Silky lost quite a few ers. Overall, the viewers felt like Silky didn't deliver what they expected from her. Now, the queen is getting a shot at competing on All Stars 6 to prove that her haters are absolutely wrong.
Trinity K. Bonet
Trinity K. Bonet is one of the biggest Lip Sync Assassins in the history of RuPaul's Drag Race. The viewers got to know TKB back on Drag Race season 6, where she struggled with a few of the challenges but developed a sisterly bond with winner Bianca Del Rio. More than anything, longtime fans Trinity for her iconic lip sync performances to "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Khan and "Whatta Man" by Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue.
Yara Sofia
Language barriers aside, Yara Sofia slayed Drag Race season 3 and All Stars 1 with her out-of-the-box creativity, larger-than-life looks, and undeniable charisma. With that said, it was hard for the judges to literally understand the Puerto Rican queen given that she wasn't fluent in English. Now that a few years have ed and the show has evolved, it is time for the world to fully embrace Yara Sofia for her creativity.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 premieres Thursday, June 24, 2021 on Paramount+.
