Now, the Ru-volution is officially on – “RuPaul's Drag Race” is introducing the world to the Season 16 cast!
This season, 14 stunning new queens will compete for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” along with a cash prize of $200,000. This season also marks the 15th anniversary of the “Drag Race” franchise.
The Season 16 cast of RuPaul's Drag Race includes a sibling of a “Drag Race” alumni, a Miami Beach internet sensation, and even a classically trained musician with a six-octave vocal range!

The season 16 premiere is once again a two-part premiere, kicking off with the iconic talent show as the first Maxi Challenge. The talent show is separately themed as MTV’s Spring Break as well as the “Queen Choice Awards.” Both episodes will feature a gag-worthy twist following the performances, where the queens will be tasked to “Rate-A-Queen” -- ranking their fellow competitors' performances determining both the tops and bottoms of that week.
“RuPaul's Drag Race” premieres Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, on MTV at 8 p.m. on MTV.
