Gurl, RuPaul sure does know how to werk! Just one week after Drag Race UK season three ended its run, with Krystal Versace taking home the crown, Mama Ru has announced the 14 new queens competing for the crown and $100,000 on season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, premiering in January.
The new crop of queens includes the first ever cisgender heterosexual man in Drag Race herstory, Maddy Morphosis.

RuPaul’s Drag Race has been nominated for 48 Emmys and won 24. Filming for season 14 began in early May and continued until the end of June. The competing queens were able to return to social media on July 2.
“This season is full of f***ing weirdos,” says Bosco, 27, who is competing on the season.
“Every person on this season is, in their own right, a complete lunatic, and I think that manifested itself in one of the most surprising, twisty, and turny seasons I’ve ever seen. If I remember this season how it happened, it sounds more like a fan fiction that someone wrote up, over an actual series of events,” Bosco told EW.
The season 14 cast, who were Ru-Vealed by season 13 winner Symone in a VH1 special include:
