Meet the QUEENS!
AS8 will feature a cast of 12 returning queens vying for the crown, including two Miss Congeniality winners, a trans trailblazer, a long-awaited fan-favorite from the show’s early days, and one contestant making the jump stateside from Canada’s Drag Race for her special day.
As revealed Thursday by Paramount+, the official AS8 cast includes season 9 Snatch Game winner Alexis Michelle; season 6 lip-sync assassin Darienne Lake; season 12 Miss Congeniality and Heidi Hydrates founder Heidi N Closet; season 9 queen and The Bitch Who Stole Christmas star Jaymes Mansfield; season 2 breakout and All Stars 6 lip-sync assassin Jessica Wild; Canada’s Drag Race season 1 star and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs. the World competitor Jimbo; season 11 queen and Drag Race Live! Las Vegas showgirl Kahanna Montrese; season 13’s star quality pioneer and captain of the S.S. Muse Kandy Muse; season 13 Golden Boot winner and Miss Congeniality queen Lala Ri; trail-blazing season 5 contestant Monica Beverly Hillz; season 7‘s matriarchal mama Mrs. Kasha Davis; and Miss Continental winner Naysha Lopez, who first competed on season 8.
The 12-strong cast vying for a $200,000 prize marks the third consecutive All Stars collective to have their season streamed on Paramount+, following All Stars 6 and last year’s All Stars 7 all-winners edition, which was won by season 5 champion Jinkx Monsoon. A new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked will also accompany AS8‘s rollout.
All Stars 8 follows the April 14 crowning of Sasha Colby as the winner of season 15, making her the second trans winner of a regular season of American Drag Race after she performed her final lip-sync number in a nearly nude ensemble.
