Overview
- The full eleven-queen cast was revealed on June 23, with Raven named among competitors drawn from Australia, New Zealand and international franchises.
- Raven first appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2010 and All Stars in 2012, later becoming RuPaul’s longtime makeup artist and winning a Primetime Emmy.
- The series will stream starting July 24 on WOW Presents Plus and on Stan in Australia.
- Reports say the season will shift eliminations so the top two queens each week choose which bottom contestant faces a lip-sync to stay, though that format change is currently described in regional reporting and not widely corroborated.
- Fans reacted with surprise and skepticism because Raven has worked behind the scenes for years and previously teased a non‑competing cameo on All Stars 7, raising questions about why she returned and how viewers will respond.
