Alright, settle in, squirrel friends! The question on everyone's lipstick-stained lips is: when are we getting our next dose of RuPaul's Drag Race?
It's like waiting for your online shopping order to arrive – agonizing, exciting, and filled with the potential for fabulousness (or, you know, buyer's remorse). Let's break down the waiting game.
The Never-Ending Season (Almost)
Here's the thing: it feels like RuPaul's Drag Race is ALWAYS on, doesn't it? Between the regular seasons, All Stars, international versions, and *Untucked*, it's a drag-tastic buffet!
Honestly, if you're ever bored, just Google "RuPaul's Drag Race" and some version of the show will be airing somewhere in the world. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, like a never-ending supply of glitter and shade.
Decoding the Drag Race Schedule
But for those craving a specific fix – like, say, season 17 of the flagship US show – here's the skinny.
Usually, Mama Ru likes to serve us a new season of the original Drag Race every *winter or early spring*. Think January or February. So, if you're reading this around summertime, buckle up for a bit of a wait.
All Stars, on the other hand, tends to sashay onto our screens a little later, often in the *spring or summer*. Consider it your poolside entertainment, complete with dramatic twists and legendary lip syncs.
Of course, there are always exceptions. The TV gods can be as unpredictable as a queen's wig malfunction. So the dates may shift.
The All Stars Advantage
Feeling impatient? Well, good news! While we wait for the next regular season, there's a very good chance we'll be treated to another installment of All Stars.
Get ready to see some of your favorite queens return for a second chance at the crown (and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame). The drama, the runways, the read – it’s pure, unadulterated entertainment!
Think of All Stars as the drag equivalent of comfort food. You know what you're getting, but it's always satisfying.
How to Stay in the Know
Want to be the first to know about the premiere date? Here are some tips to stay tuned.
Firstly, keep an eye on the official RuPaul's Drag Race social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook). They are the best sources for updates. Secondly, sign up for the show's newsletter. It's like getting a VIP pass to all things drag.
And finally, listen to the grapevine! The Drag Race fandom is like a family, and rumors spread faster than a queen can say "Shantay, you stay."
While You Wait: Diversify Your Drag!
Look, the wait can be tough, we know. But don't despair! The world of drag is vast and fabulous.
Explore the international versions of Drag Race. Drag Race UK, Canada's Drag Race, Drag Race Down Under – they're all fantastic and offer a fresh perspective on the art of drag. Every version has something special to offer.
Support your local queens! Go to a drag show, tip generously, and spread the love. Drag is best experienced live, and you'll be amazed by the talent and creativity in your own community.
Ultimately, the next season of RuPaul's Drag Race will arrive when it's meant to. But until then, let's celebrate the queens we love, explore the world of drag, and get ready to Ru-joice when that premiere date is finally announced!
