When Is The New Season Of Rupaul's Drag Race
Okay, let's be real. We're all thinking it: when IS RuPaul's Drag Race coming back? I swear, it feels like I just finished watching the last season. And then, boom, the withdrawal sets in.
The Endless Wait
It's like waiting for Christmas, but instead of presents, we get sickening looks and iconic lip syncs. Is that better? Honestly, sometimes I think it is. My family gives questionable gifts, anyway.
Seriously, I've started checking RuPaul's social media every. Single. Day. I'm convinced they're teasing us on purpose. Like, a single cryptic image? Come ON, Mama Ru, throw us a bone!
Must Read
I even started a conspiracy theory that they film multiple seasons back-to-back. And only release them when we're desperate. It’s all about the ratings, baby! Don't @ me.
So, Where's the Tea?
Officially? Usually, we get a new season around January/February or later in the year. But timing is never set on stone. Remember that one time it was in the summer?! I still have trust issues.
Of course, there are always rumors swirling. Twitter and Reddit are basically hotbeds of speculation. Take it with a grain of glitter. No, take it with a whole bucket. A truckload, even!
My personal (and totally unfounded) guess? Maybe… March? April? Okay, fine, I have no idea. But I'm manifesting it!
The Drag Race Drought: An Unpopular Opinion
Okay, here's where I get controversial. Maybe… maybe… all the Drag Race spin-offs are diluting the magic of the original. Gasp! I said it!
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing queens from around the world. But am I the only one who thinks we're getting a little oversaturated? Like, can we breathe? Maybe take a month off?
I feel like I can't keep up. Between All Stars, UK, Down Under, Canada, España, France, and like, a million others… my DVR is crying for help! Someone send help!
Maybe, just maybe, a little break would make the new season of the OG RuPaul's Drag Race even more exciting. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" - RuPaul (and me, when my pizza is late)
What to Do While We Wait
So, what do we do in the meantime? Re-watch old seasons, obviously. Specifically, the ones with Bianca Del Rio, because she’s comedy gold.
Or, how about supporting your local drag scene? Go see a show! Tip your queens! They deserve all the love (and cash) we can give them.
And, let's be honest, we can all use this time to practice our own makeup skills. I'm still trying to master the perfect winged liner. Baby steps!
Ultimately, the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race will arrive when it arrives. Until then, keep your wig on tight and your hope alive. Shantay, you stay... informed!
And remember, even if my unpopular opinion is… unpopular… I'm still right. Kidding! (Mostly).
