AceShowbiz - RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is preparing for its highly anticipated 11th season, set to premiere on Paramount+ on May 8. This season promises excitement with a fresh twist on the competition, featuring 18 returning queens from previous seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race.

The show will kick off with a special two-episode premiere, ushering in the return of the Tournament of All Stars format introduced in season 10. The 18 queens are divided into three groups of six, each competing within their own bracket over three episodes. Points will be awarded based on their performances, with the highest scorers advancing to the semifinals.

The semifinals will pit the top queens from each group against one another in intense challenges as they vie for a chance to enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame and claim the grand prize of $200,000. This format adds a strategic layer to the competition, increasing the stakes and drama as fan-favorite queens fight for supremacy.

The cast announcement for All Stars 11 was revealed shortly after the crowning of Myki Meeks, the winner of season 18 of the main series. In addition to the main competition, viewers can also look forward to new episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked, which will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and stream only on Paramount+ starting May 8.

Among the returning contestants is A'Keria C. Davenport, known as "Ms. Ass Almighty." A powerhouse from season 11 and All Stars 6, she brings her trademark sass, class, and fierce pageantry to this new season. She is ready to battle for the coveted All Stars champion title and represent Texas with pride.

With a cast packed full of familiar faces and fierce competitors, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 11 promises to be a thrilling season full of talent, drama, and unforgettable moments. Fans can tune in to Paramount+ on May 8 to witness the queens’ journey through this innovative tournament-style competition.
