Ariana Grande, Ice Spice & Cynthia Erivo announced as guest judges for 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10'
Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is upping the ante with a star-packed roster of celebrity guest judges, and the latest reveal confirms it: the judging panel is going to be stacked. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the powerhouse duo starring in the upcoming Wicked film, are set to bring their signature sparkle to the show. Joining them is rap superstar Ice Spice, alongside a glittering lineup including Chappell Roan, Colman Domingo, Kate Beckinsale, Susanne Bartsch, Adam Shankman, Jamal Sims, Mayan Lopez, Devery Jacobs, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. These stars will appear alongside the show's iconic judging crew: RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley, and Law Roach. In the trailer, Chappell Roan makes a memorable entrance into the Werk Room, wearing a robe and wig cap, teasing the queens with: 'Do you have something sexy I can slip into?' Meanwhile, Erivo and Grande make their grand entrance as well — appearing in both the Werk Room and at the judges' table. Erivo remarks, 'It's good to see us now, isn't it?' while Grande turns to the queens and quips, 'No need to respond, that was rhetorical.' As previously announced, the new season will showcase 18 returning queens, all vying for a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and a $200,000 grand prize. The fierce returning queens include: Acid Betty, Aja, Alyssa Hunter, Bosco, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, DeJa Skye, Denali, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, Kerri Colby, Lydia B Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Nicole Paige Brooks, Olivia Lux, Phoenix, and Tina Burner. These queens will be split into three teams of six — Team Purple, Team Orange, and Team Pink — competing in what the show calls the 'Tournament of All Stars.' Each team will battle it out across three episodes, with the top three point-earners from each bracket advancing to the semi-finals. The final nine queens will then clash in two more episodes, culminating in a legendary 'Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown.' Only one queen will walk away with the title and be enshrined in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 premieres May 9 at 9 p.m. PT / 12 a.m. ET exclusively on Paramount+. Fans can also catch the companion series, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked, debuting the same night. The show offers a backstage look at the queens as they nervously await judgment.
