For years, “Drag Race” fans have pleaded for a season showcasing queens who were former recipients of the highly coveted title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”

Premiering just a few months after the inaugural season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK,” the 12th season of the American version of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” revved its engines on VH1 last Friday night.

On Tuesday, Oct. 22, VH1 announced that they would be releasing a spinoff series to “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The original series formerly aired on Logo in 2009 before moving to VH1 at the start of its ninth season. The new series, titled “RuPaul’s Celebrity Drag Race,” is set to air on VH1 and will feature former contestants.
