Contestant Kita Mean snatched the top prize in last year's series Down Under debut, proving her drag prowess in the Family Resemblance makeover challenge. But who will be sashaying into the werkroom this time ready to show they’re no drag drongo?

Beverly Kills is a fierce opponent and the season’s youngest queen at 21, while Sydney-based Minnie Cooper has had an illustrious two-decade career. Yuri Guaii will be delivering jaw-droppingly creepy lewks, Kween Kong lip-sync assassin realness, and Spankie Jackzon (real name Blair Macbeth) serving “fun, sexy, [and] naughty” runways inspired by buxom 90s supermodels.

And there’ll be plenty of celebrity appearances, too, including lesbian icon Lucy Lawless, and conservationists Bindi and Robert Irwin – two zookeepers well trained to handle contestants like the amusingly named Hannah Conda.

It’s going to be fierce, fun, and totally Antipodean. Just read on for our guide explaining how to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under season 2 online and from anywhere.
