The premiere of season two of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Underis just around the corner and as if the queens themselves weren’t enough to be excited about, the extra special judges being announced will have you shouting “Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi,” too.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the Warrior Princess herself,Lucy Lawless, will be lending her talents and sheer presence to the judging panel in the second episode of the new season.

The first episode, however, gets two extra special judges in the form of the Irwin siblings, Robert and Bindi, children of the late, great animal conservationist and zookeeper Steve Irwin.

Fans of the first season will recall that Bindi Irwin made an appearance of sorts, as Art Simone’s character in The Snatch Game. “How could we not be involved in a show as fun and iconic as RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under? We’re big fans and were chuffed to help kick off the new season, especially after Art Simone’s hilarious Snatch Game impersonation last year!” wrote the Irwins in a joint statement. “We can’t wait to see how all our Down Under kanga-rus go this season.”

Lawless also expressed her excitement about guest starring on the iconic franchise. “I absolutely loved being part of the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under and can’t believe I got to sit beside RuPaul, Michelle, and Rhys! Of course I know a thing or two about being a warrior princess but these new queens are absolutely next level. So fierce and so fabulous, I was in complete awe and am really looking forward to seeing how they all go!”

Season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under is set to premiere on WOW Presents Plus on July 30. Watch the trailer below.
