Herstoric Season 15 to mark the 200th episode of RuPaul's Drag Race

New York, NY - August 15, 2022 - On the heels of an impressive 11 Emmy(R) Award nominations across the franchise, VH1 today announced that RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked have been greenlit for new seasons. The record breaking competition series, RuPaul's Drag Race, will introduce a new group of sickening queens for a highly anticipated 15th season which will also include the landmark 200th episode. The Emmy(R) Award-winning after-show, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked also returns, airing each week after brand new episodes of Drag Race.

"When I hear season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, I have to pinch myself - I just won't tell you where," said six-time Emmy(R) Award-winning host and Executive Producer, RuPaul. "We never take for granted the opportunity we've been given to showcase drag excellence and tell authentic queer stories. Thank you to the fans, World of Wonder, VH1, our cast and crew, and most of all, our brave and beautiful queens."

The season 14 grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race saw the final five queens, Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Bosco, Daya Betty, Lady Camden and Willow Pill go head-to-head for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar." Willow Pill was crowned winner and Kornbread was named "Miss Congeniality." The season also garnered some viewership milestones including the premiere, which marked the show's highest rated debut since 2018.
