In addition to all those amazing guest judges, television host Rachel Maddow will make a special guest appearance on the show, although she won’t be judging the queens.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 was announced along with the 15 new contestants in January
The 15 queens set to fight for “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and the winning prize of $100,000 were revealed, with Season 10 contestant Vanessa Vanjie Mateo—or “Miss Vanjie”—making a return.
Other queens competing for the crown include Miss Black Universe A’keria C. Davenport, of the House of Davenport, and “life-sized Bratz doll” Ariel Versace, according to a press release from VH1.
The line-up features two more House of Davenport queens, Honey Davenport and Ra’jah D. O’Hara, professional dancer Brook Lynn Hytes and Las Vegas showgirl Kahanna Montrese.

In a VH1 press release, RuPaul said: “Just when I think to myself—‘shedonealreadydonehadherses’—a new crop of killer queens sashay their way into my heart and leave me gagging for more.
“Dare I say, this might be the most sickening season of all time.”
