Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World Cast Revealed — Look Who's Coming Back!
Nine Drag Race favorites are bundling up and heading north for another international smackdown for the crown.
The nine queens competing in Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. the World were revealed on Monday, giving us a taste of what we can expect from the six-part series, which premieres Friday, Nov. 18 (9/8c) on WOW Presents Plus in the US and select territories. For Canadian viewers, the episodes will once again air on Crave.
This latest cast includes queens from Canada's Drag Race, US-based Drag Race, Drag Race UK and Drag Race Down Under — including one who's already a winner, baby.
Current Canada's Drag Race judges Brooke Lynn Hytes, Brad Goreski, and Traci Melchor will all return to the panel for this special competition, joined by to-be-announced celebrity guest judges.
This marks the second entry in Drag Race's "Vs. the World" sub-franchise. Drag Race UK Vs. the World aired earlier this year, with Blu Hydrangea becoming the first-ever Queen of the Mother-Tucking World. (Click here for a recap of that dramatic finale.)
