RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is an American reality competition spin off edition of the original RuPaul's Drag Race, which is produced by World of Wonder, for Logo TV and later VH1. The show premiered on October 22, 2012, on Logo TV, before relocating to VH1. However, it was announced on February 20, 2020, on the show's official Twitter account that the fifth season would premiere on June 5, 2020, on Showtime.[1] Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would remain airing on VH1 instead of Showtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments".[2] On February 24, 2021, Paramount+ announced via Twitter that the streaming service would be the new home to the series for the sixth season.[3]

The show documents past queens from the Drag Race franchise (primarily from the original series) returning to compete at the invitation of RuPaul. As in the original series, RuPaul plays the role of host, mentor, and head judge and contestants are given different challenges each week. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars employs a panel of judges currently composed of RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison who, along with a host of guest judges, critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The winner of each season is awarded a cash prize and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. A notable exception is the seventh season where, due to the cast consisting of previous winners of the franchise, the winner was instead crowned as "Queen of All Queens".
