"When I hear season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, I have to pinch myself – I just won't tell you where," RuPaul said.
"We never take for granted the opportunity we've been given to showcase drag excellence and tell authentic queer stories. Thank you to the fans, World of Wonder, VH1, our cast and crew, and most of all, our brave and beautiful queens."
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars airs on Paramount+ in the US and streams on WOW Presents Plus in the UK.
