Dec 6, 2023 8:00am PT
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” has reached her sweet 16.
The Emmy-winning reality competition series — which returns to MTV for its 16th season on Jan. 5 — revealed the 14 new drag queens competing for the $200,000 grand prize and the title of America’s next drag superstar on Wednesday.
The two-part series premiere will feature the queens showing off their stuff in the annual talent show, which has become a mainstay on the series. This year, however, the show — which will be themed separately for MTV’s Spring Break and the “Queen Choice Awards” — will feature a new twist in the competition: “Rate-A-Queen.” After the performances have ended, the contestants must rank their fellow queens’ performances to determine the tops and bottoms of the week.
The aftershow “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked” is also returning, airing immediately following the series.
And yes, after last year’s controversial switch to 60-minute episodes, “Drag Race” has returned to its full glory, with each episode running 90 minutes.
