Can you believe RuPaul’s Drag Race is now old enough to vote? On Tuesday (December 2, 2025), we were introduced to the 14 new queens vying to become America’s Next Drag Superstar.
The queen-testants for the season include the drag daughter of Morphine Love Dion, the drag sister of Bosco and Irene the Alien, and a true punk rocker. The queens come from across the country (with three from my home state of Florida).
In a promo video hosted by season 17 winner Onya Nurve, we get our first glimpse of the new members of the Drag Race family: Athena Dion, Briar Blush, Ciara Myst, Darlene Mitchell, DD Fuego, Discord Addams, Jane Don’t, Juicy Love Dion, Kenya Pleaser, Mandy Mango, Mia Starr, Myki Meeks, Nini Coco and Vita VonTesse Starr.
Meet the queens and get ready to start your engines, because season 18 of RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres on Friday, January 2 at 8pmET on MTV. Talk about an early Christmas present!
