Here are the caliente queens vying to be the first to claim the title of Mexico's next drag superstar.
The Drag Race family expands again!
Meet the 11 queens who are ready to serve up all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent needed to compete for the chance to be named Mexico’s next drag superstar — oh, and that cash grand prize, too!
While Mama Ru won’t be judging Drag Race México, the Drag Race family will be representing at the judges' table. The series will be hosted by drag superstars and former Drag Race contestants themselves, Lolita Banana and Valentina.
Here’s who will be strutting their stuff into the workroom and onto the main stage when Drag Race México premieres June 22 in Latin America on MTV and Paramount+, and on WOW Presents Plus worldwide (excluding Mexico). When it arrives at a later, as-of-yet-unannounced date in the U.S., the series will stream on Paramount+.
Meet the queens of Drag Race México, season one!
