RuPaulโ€™s Drag Race All Stars season 5 will not air on VH1 this summer, but the show is moving to a new network โ€” Showtime.

The new season is being referred to as โ€œa new special edition,โ€ but at this point it is unclear what is special about it.

Debuting June 5 at 8:00 p.m., the new season will serve as a โ€œspecial editionโ€ of the show, according to a statement.

โ€œRuPaulโ€™s Drag Race All Stars is a culture-defining show that fits perfectly within the contemporary programming Showtime offers in both scripted and unscripted,โ€ said Jana Winograde, Showtime Networks Incโ€™s president of entertainment.

โ€œWe are excited to take advantage of our relationship with our new sister company VH1 to present a special edition of this sensational series and bring in this passionate and robust fanbase. Itโ€™s the latest example of how we can leverage our combined portfolio to provide new experiences for our audience.โ€

To get the fans excited, RuPaulโ€™s Drag Race posted a clip on their Twitter account, showing the crownings of all the past winners of All Stars, while celebrating their move through some cheeky wordplay. โ€œSHAMELESS plug, but All Stars has a new HOMELAND!โ€ the tweet read, referring to the networkโ€™s other programming. โ€œSo, everybody say THE L WORD (love!) because a special edition of ALL STARS is coming to @Showtime June 5!โ€

RuPaulโ€™s Drag Race All Stars season 5 will debut on Showtime June 5 at 8 p.m. See the teaser clip below:
