See the 'Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World' cast of international all-stars (original) (raw)

Step up your poutine game, because Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World has cooked up a saucy serving of international all stars.

The Canadian edition of the series will welcome nine returning queens for its worldwide, six-episode smackdown, including a prior winner as well as two queens who previously competed against Canada vs. the World judge Brooke Lynn Hytes on RuPaul's Drag Race season 11.

Though RuPaul has long billed Drag Race as "the Olympics of drag," the vs. spin-off series marks the franchise's first true global competition. First launched as RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. the World in February, each new season takes place in a different host country. Canada's edition is the second to date; countries with their own individual Drag Race productions, like Thailand and Spain, could serve as potential host nations for future seasons.

Irish queen Blu Hydrangea — who first competed on RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 1 — emerged victorious on the debut vs. season in March.
