In addition to those familiar faces, we can also expect special appearances by Alec Mapa, Angela Bassett, Cheyenne Jackson, Fortune Feimster, Jermaine Fowler, Miss Piggy and Tanya Tucker.
And there’s plenty of drama to enjoy in the trailer, with RuPaul describing All Stars 6 as a “game within a game.” We aren’t given any more information, but Jan (“I am gagged!”) and Eureka (“The girls are out for blood!”) certainly aren’t downplaying the announcement. For what it’s worth, Paramount+ and VH1’s official release refers to it as the “mother of all twists that will leave viewers gagged.”
As previously reported, the cast of All Stars 6 includes A’keria C. Davenport (Season 11), Eureka (Season 9/10), Ginger Minj (Seasn 7/All Stars 2), Jan (Season 12), Jiggly Caliente (Season 4), Kylie Sonique Love (Season 2), Pandora Boxx (Season 2/All Stars 1), Ra’Jah O’Hara (Season 11), Scarlet Envy (Season 11), Serena ChaCha (Season 5), Silky Nutmeg Ganache (Season 11), Trinity K. Bonet (Season 6) and Yara Sofia (Season 3/All Stars 1). Click here for a closer look at each returning queen.

Let the games begin
Or they could just compete against each other? All too often lately the twists feel contrived and give mediocre performers the chance to stick around past their expiration date.
Too bad it was moved to streaming!
Right!! I’m not paying for another streaming service
