Canada is the latest country to sissy that walk, with a new incarnation of the epic Drag Race franchise seeing 12 'Queens of the North' sashay for a $100,000 prize - and more importantly, the title of Canada's Next Drag Superstar. Catch all of this sick’ning new series by following our guide below as we explain how to watch Canada’s Drag Race online this summer.
Canada’s Drag Race premiered on Thursday, July 2 through Canadian streaming platform Crave. It drops an hour-long episode at the same time every week, 9pm ET. In the US, Logo TV started airing it on July 27 at 8pm ET, while it's absolutely FREE to watch the latest episodes in the UK thanks to the BBC and iPlayer.
The latest global spin-off of the fabulous RuPaul's Drag Race franchise is as fresh and fierce as they came. For a start, there’s the completely revamped line-up of judges: actor and LGBTQ+ activist Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, supermodel Stacey McKenzie, and RuPaul season 11’s Brook Lynn Hytes, who’ll be the first ex-contestant to bag a judging slot. But, although the mischievous Ru is conspicuously absent, she’ll be popping up via Rumail - setting the weekly challenge no less!
Among the contestants desperate to hear “shantay, you stay” are Bahamian queen Anastarzia Anaquway, the cheekily named Juice Boxx, ‘Two Spirit’ contestant Ilona Verley, the Guyanese Priyanka, Scarlett BoBo, Rita Baga, and Lemon, whose killer catchphrase is “I’m about to make these girls feel real bitter.” As ever, the judges will have help evaluating the girls' Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent from a plethora of celebrity guests, including Elisha Cuthbert, Tom Green, Allie X… and yes, our sour-faced squirrel friend Michelle Visage!
