You know how much I enjoy RuPaul’s Drag Race, but how about a competition which combines Drag with real-live vocals and some of the familiar faces we’ve come to love of Drag Race? QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE arrives soon on Paramount+ and it truly is a dazzling international competition!
Judges include Trixie Mattel, Michelle Visage, Leona Lewis and Vanessa Williams, with Graham Norton judging.
We’ve seen the first episode meeting for the first time seven contestants and what looks like it will be a successful branch of RuPaul’s Dag Race and we can’t wait to for you to discover these big personalities and voices.
You won’t believe your eyes when Australia’s Gingzilla takes the stage with their beard and big baritone voice. Or French Queen Leona Winter‘s dazzling presence. Fun fact, she actually named herself after Lewis coincidentally. At the end of it all, we realize there is a shocker and things aren’t going to be as easy as we think for these seven queens! Spoiler: there are seven more Queens!

We love the positive, encouraging vibes the judges bring to this Series and while we haven’t yet seen the claws come out yet, we’re sure there’s gonna be a bit of drama to come at some point. And knowing Ru, there for sure are going to be some twists and turns! And Jujubee, one of our favourite Drag Queens, surfaces too! We just can’t wait!
QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE arrives on Paramount+ December 2, 2021.
