‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Announces Landmark 10th ‘All Stars’ Season: Here’s the Rumored Cast

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” debuted its first “All Stars” season in 2012, featuring 12 returning competitors as they vied for a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. Since then, nine seasons of “All Stars” have come and gone, with drag legends like Chad Michaels, Trixie Mattel, and, most recently, Angeria Paris van Michaels, proving their drag prowess and earning a spot in the “Drag Race” winners circle. 

Now, less than a week before the finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 17 on Friday, April 18, the franchise has announced that “All Stars 10” is just around the corner. Set to premier on Paramount+ on Thursday, May 9, the landmark season is set to feature the largest cast of queens in the show’s history, with 18 queens competing. 

While the cast of the upcoming season, subtitled “Tournament of All Stars,” is yet to be revealed, a rumored cast has been put forward by eagle-eyed

fans following a series of Reddit leaks regarding the season. Here are the 18 former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestants rumored to be returning for “All Stars 10.”

Aja, also known as Aja Miyake-Mugler, made her “Drag Race” debut on the show’s ninth season in 2017, where she placed 9th. Aja later returned to compete on “All Stars 3,” though she yet again failed to make it to the top of the competition.

Since making it all the way to the finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14 in 2022, Bosco has taken Las Vegas by storm after joining the cast of “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!” The variety show residency is housed at the Flamingo Las Vegas and features a number of the show’s prior contestants as nightly performers. 

Deja Skye (Season 14)

Remembered for her iconic Snatch Game impersonation of Lil Jon, Deja Skye made it to the Top 7 of Season 14 before being eliminated in a rare Bottom 3 lip sync. 

Irene DuBois (Season 15)

Irene DuBois appeared on the 15th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2023, though her appearance was short-lived. Despite winning the season’s first Mini Challenge, Irene was also the first queen to sashay away after she failed to impress the judges with her comedic skit during the season premier’s talent show. 

Olivia Lux (Season 13)

Also known by her Ballroom name – Olivia Lux Miyake-Mugler – Olivia Lux was a fan-favorite on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 13 in 2021. Olivia unfortunately finished the competition in 5th place, just shy of earning a spot in the season’s Final 4. 

Phoenix (Season 3)

This Georgia-based queen hasn’t walked the “Drag Race” runway since the show’s third season in 2011. Phoenix placed 12th on the season, but has continued to elevate her drag in recent years. 

Jorgeous (Season 14, ‘All Stars’ Season 9)

While it might seem unorthodox to cast a queen in back-to-back “All Stars” seasons, rumors suggest that Season 14 queen Jorgeous is set to return for her second “All Stars” run in May. Jorgeous failed to make the finale on either of her prior “Drag Race” seasons, but has been wowing fans as a cast member of “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!” since 2023. 

Kerri Colby (Season 14)

Kerri Colby made her “Drag Race” debut on Season 14 in 2022. Though the queen finished the competition in 9th place, she has since performed alongside Jennifer Lopez at the 2022 iHeart Radio Music Awards. Kerri was also nominated for the “Future All-Star” award at the Queerties in 2023. 

Lydia B Kollins (Season 17)

Despite the fact that she is a contestant on the currently-airing 17th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” rumors suggest that Lydia B Kollins will also be a contestant on “All Stars 10.” Lydia’s Season 17 run was defined by her unique fashion sense and her ongoing relationship with fellow competitor Kori King. 

Mistress Isabelle Brooks (Season 15)

Mistress Isabelle Brooks was a finalist on Season 15 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2023. The Texas queen later returned to the show as a guest during Season 17’s ‘Villains Roast’ challenge.

Nicole Paige Brooks, from Atlanta, Georgia, made her last “Drag Race” appearance in 2010 as a contestant on the show’s second season. Nicole was eliminated second on the season of 12 queens, but has remained active in “Drag Race” spaces, such as RuPaul’s DragCon. 

Tina Burner (Season 13)

This New York City queen won the title of National Miss Comedy Queen before appearing on the 13th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2020. Tina has since toured the world with her show “Witch Perfect,” a “Hocus Pocus” parody production, alongside fellow “Drag Race” alumni Scarlet Envy and Alexis Michelle. 

Acid Betty (Season 8)

Longtime “Project Runway” fans might recognize Acid Betty from her guest appearance as a drag model on the show’s fifth season, but “Drag Race” fans will remember the New York queen from her run on Season 8. Acid Betty was eliminated from the show following a poor Snatch Game performance on the season’s fifth episode. 

Alyssa Hunter (Season 14)

Alyssa Hunter is a pageant queen who competed on Season 14 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2022. Though Alyssa was eliminated in the season’s second episode, Michael Cook, a writer at Instinct Magazine, described the queen as “one of the most famed queens” in Puerto Rico. 

Cynthia Lee Fontaine (Season 8, 9)

After a short-lived appearance on Season 8 of “Drag Race,” Cynthia Lee Fontaine was awarded the title of ‘Miss Congeniality’ by her fellow castmates due to her kind demeanor. The queen was later invited back to compete on Season 9, where she finished in 10th place. 

Daya Betty (Season 14)

Despite losing a lip sync and seemingly being eliminated in Episode 2 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14, Daya Betty was able to return and eventually secure a spot in the season’s finale. Daya’s social gameplay on the show earned her the title of “reality TV’s best villain” from The Daily Beast’s Chika Ekemezie in 2022. 

Denali (Season 13)

Denali, named after the highest peak in her home state of Alaska, entered the Werk Room in her signature ice skates as a contestant on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 13. However, despite an early Maxi Challenge win, the professional figure skater and choreographer was ultimately eliminated during the season’s 10th episode.

Of all the contestants rumored to be competing on “All Stars 10,” none has more “Drag Race” experience than Ginger Minj. Since making it to the finale of the show’s seventh season in 2015, Ginger has returned to compete on two separate “All Stars” seasons – “All Stars 2” (2016) and “All Stars 6” (2021).
