Round six, here we go!
Mother Brooke Lynn Hytes is ready to welcome a sickening lineup of 12 fierce queens competing to become Canada’s Next Drag Superstar on Canada’s Drag Race season 6.
It’s pretty incredible that the Canadian series has now reached its sixth flagship season — besides doing two cycles of Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs the World with queens from around the globe. The mark of a great international Drag Race series is when it establishes itself so deeply in RuPaul’s queendom that it can have fun being self-referential and can call back to iconic challenges from its own herstory.
This new promo is very much giving season 2 Rusical — “Under the Big Top” — realness. But there’s no clownery going on here, Mary! These Queens of the North are beat to the drag gawds.
