The much-anticipated Season 9 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” is set to sizzle screens as Paramount+ and World of Wonder officially announce the star-studded lineup. In a groundbreaking move, this season will showcase eight esteemed alumni from “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” spanning from its inaugural season to the recent Season 14. Notably, this installment marks the first time, excluding the all-winners seventh season, that “All Stars” will feature only eight queens, promising a more intense and focused competition.
As the fierce competitors strut their stuff on the runway, they will be vying for a staggering $200,000 grand prize. However, in a historic twist in “Drag Race” herstory, the coveted cash prize will be donated to the charity of the victor’s choice. This philanthropic gesture marks a significant departure from previous seasons and underscores the show’s commitment to social impact and community betterment.
The generous prize fund is made possible through The Palette Fund, a distinguished private foundation with a noble mission. Dedicated to dismantling barriers and propelling social change in under-resourced communities grappling with significant challenges, The Palette Fund aligns seamlessly with the ethos of empowerment and inclusivity championed by “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
In an official release, the collaboration between Paramount+, World of Wonder, and The Palette Fund underscores a shared vision of leveraging the power of entertainment to effect positive change. By channeling resources towards causes that uplift marginalized communities and promote equity, this partnership exemplifies the transformative potential of media as a catalyst for social progress.
With the stage set and the spotlight ready to shine, fans eagerly await the premiere of Season 9 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.” As the queens sashay, shante, and slay their way through challenges and lip-sync battles, they not only compete for the crown but also champion causes close to their hearts. Get ready for a season filled with dazzling performances, heartfelt moments, and, above all, the celebration of drag excellence and the enduring spirit of giving back.
