The returning queens will provide a lot of drama in the upcoming season.

While RuPaul's Drag Race is undoubtedly one of the most relevant and popular reality competition shows in television history, many fans still think that its spin-off, All Stars, is slightly better.

The thing is, people find it more enjoyable to follow the queens they already know and love than to build connections with the cast of completely new participants on the main show. That is why RuPaul's idea of pitting fan-favorite queens from different seasons of Drag Race against each other has proven to be so successful with the audience.

Now, the time has finally come for All Stars Season 8, as Paramount+ has just announced the full list of returning queens.

Here are all the queens confirmed to compete in Season 8:

  • Alexis Michelle (Season 9)
  • Darienne Lake (Season 6)
  • Heidi N Closet (Season 12)
  • Jaymes Mansfield (Season 9)
  • Jessica Wild (Season 2)
  • Jimbo (Canada's Drag Race Season 1, UK vs. the World Season 1)
  • Kahanna Montrese (Season 11)
  • Kandy Muse (Season 13)
  • LaLa Ri (Season 13)
  • Monica Beverly Hillz (Season 5)
  • Mrs. Kasha Davis (Season 7)
  • Naysha Lopez (Season 8)

While this list sounds incredibly stacked in its entirety, some unexpected queens returning really caught fans off guard and made them even more eager to see the show.

For example, people were simply shocked to learn that Season 2's Jessica Wild will be back on the catwalk in front of the judges, as her iconic RuPaul impression in 'Snatch Game' is still revered by all fans of the reality show.

Viewers were also happy to see LaLa Ri's name on the list, as Season 13's Lip Sync Assassin has been called out for an All Star season since her elimination. Kandy Muse is also back for more sassy action, and fans are already losing their minds trying to guess what new quips the Season 13 queen has in store for the judges.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8 will arrive on Paramount+ on May 12, 2023.
