Round six, here we go!<\/p>\n

Mother Brooke Lynn Hytes<\/a> is ready to welcome a sickening lineup of 12 fierce queens competing to become Canada\u2019s Next Drag Superstar on Canada\u2019s Drag Race<\/a> season 6.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty incredible that the Canadian series has now reached its sixth flagship season \u2014 besides doing two cycles of Canada\u2019s 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\u2019s queendom<\/a> that it can have fun being self-referential and can call back to iconic challenges from its own herstory.<\/p>\n

This new promo is very much giving season 2 Rusical \u2014 \u201cUnder the Big Top\u201d \u2014 realness. But there\u2019s no clownery going on here, Mary! These Queens of the North are beat to the drag gawds.<\/p>\n
