The RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise expanded into new territory in 2022 with the launch of Drag Race France and Drag Race Philippines. 2023 is kicking off with not only a brand new season of the mother series, but with the grand debut of two brand new entries into the Drag Race pantheon. Drag Race Belgique and Drag Race Sverige will bring drag from Belgium and Sweden to the world stage. Those new installments join further seasons of successful Drag Race series airing in the United States (RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8) and around the globe (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5).
With so much Drag Race happening everywhere all at once, it’s impossible to keep up with all of the various spinoffs (and spinoffs of spinoffs). That’s a problem that this Drag Race guide is here to solve. Below you will find a list of every Drag Race season that’s either on the way or in the works right now — and we’ve even arranged them by when we think they’ll premiere based on what we know of their production schedule. And in case you want to do your own sleuthing, you can get a detailed timeline of when a season was announced, when casting opened and closed, and when the queens were announced for pretty much every season by checking the Drag Race Wiki. Meanwhile, we’ll keep this guide up-to-date with new information about every 2023 season’s hosts, judges, release dates, and — of course — all of the queens.

Host: RuPaul

This series may be the biggest mystery of them all. Since both All Stars 8 and Global All Stars have been announced, it feels safe to say that one isn’t replacing the other. Is Global All Stars taking the place of the vs. the World format from last year? We can assume RuPaul is the host considering the series’ name, but will the American judges also be involved? At any rate, we probably won’t know more about this one for a while.
Show: Drag Race España All Stars
Season: 1
Premiere: TBA

Host: Supremme De Luxe

Queens: TBA
Drag Race España will be the first international season to get its very own All Stars series. Does this preclude the España queens from competing on Global All Stars? Who knows!
