It’s official, Queens of the Universe is back for a second season of fierce singing drag queen competition. We love a lip synch, but we live for a live performance.
Once again, Graham Norton will be the master of ceremonies. Michelle Visage, Vanessa Williams, and drag superstar Trixie Mattel return as judges, alongside Mel B, who’s newly joining the judging table for the sophomore season.
This time, 10 queens from nine countries, including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Israel, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Australia, are vying for a cash Prize of $250,000 — and, of course, the coveted title of Queen of the Universe.
Who are these talented queens? Meet them (and find out where to follow them on social media) below.
