RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars
Since 2012, World of Wonder has produced five seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, a spin-off series where past contestants return to compete for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. The first season premiered on October 22, 2012 on Logo and featured a new format in which the twelve contestants would be competing and eliminated as pairs until the final episode when one member from either of the remaining pairs would have the chance to win the crown.
In 2015, it was announced that the series would return to Logo for a second season. Premiering on August 25, 2016, ten past contestants returned to compete and the show's format returned to one more similar to the main series; however, it was revealed that RuPaul would not be eliminating anyone and that the queen who won each main challenge would have to select a low-performing queen to send home.
As of 2020, four contestants have competed in more than one season of All Stars. As a twist, "Team Latrila" from season 1 — Manila Luzon (originally from season 3) and Latrice Royale (from season 4) — returned together to compete in season 4 as individual contestants. Jujubee (originally from season 2) and Alexis Mateo (originally from season 3) returned to complete in season 5.
All information is accurate as of the time the season was filmed.
- Contestant returned to the competition after being eliminated.
