14 'Drag Race' stars who competed in other reality shows
Queens everywhere!
(L-R) Vanessa Vanjie; Courtney Act; PeppermintParamount+; Channel 5; PeacockVery few shows have created as many superstars as the overall RuPaul's Drag Race franchise. Even after 16 flagship seasons, nine All Stars, and an ever-expanding international presence, many drag artists develop massive followings and long-lasting careers after being introduced to a global audience through Drag Race.
Before diving deep into our list, it's worth noting which parameters we've set for this group of queens. First and foremost, we're only including shows that these queens competed in after their time on Drag Race. Secondly, we're filtering out any docuseries or lifestyle shows that they might've been involved in, focusing instead on reality competitions. Last but certainly not least, we're excluding other drag-related reality shows that these queens have done after Drag Race, as we're more interested in highlighting platforms that featured drag artists without that being such a given.
With those parameters in mind, let's get this list started!
Keep scrolling to check out the RuPaul's Drag Race superstars who have competed in other reality shows over the years!
