RuPauls Drag Race All Stars is back for its ninth season, and eight queens are competing for a $200,000 prize for the charity of their choice. Each year, RuPaul Charles invites a slate of legendary drag queens who have previously competed on RuPauls Drag Race to compete for another chance at the crown. RPDR All Stars season 1 premiered in 2012 and fell flat. However, the franchise took another shot at the spin-off four years later, in 2016, and struck gold. RPDR All Stars season 2 is regarded as one of the most popular seasons of Drag Race yet.
