Would Katya compete on Drag Race All Stars again? Here's what she said
Katya on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2.
The All Stars 2 runner-up and Drag Race fan-favorite shared a new statement on whether she'd come back for another season.
The built-up hype for RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 is alive and well, and fans are still wondering if they'll ever see some of their all-time fan-favorites competing again on the show. Katya, Miss Congeniality of season 7 and All Stars 2 runner-up, is one of the most popular names to come up in these discussions, and she also spilled some tea in an interview with Alaska and Willam.

On Wednesday, May 7, Katya appeared as a guest on the Race Chaser podcast cohosted by Alaska and Willam. When asked about whether she'd return to compete on another season of All Stars, the queen shared her own thoughts on that.
"I've been approached," Katya explained. "I have been tapped [to do All Stars again] and I have RSVP'd in the negative multiple times."
Katya added that she's considered agreeing to come back but never showing up. "I was either going to do a no-call, no-show," she joked. "I was just going to agree to go and then not call and not show up. That's c*nty."
Drag Race fans were introduced to Katya in 2015 when she competed in season 7 and placed fifth overall. She returned the following year to compete in the second season of All Stars, where she made it all the way and finished as runner-up.
Since then, Katya has been booked and busy — making an even bigger name for herself alongside Trixie Mattel with multiple projects like UNHhhh, The Bald and the Beautiful, I Like to Watch, joint tours, books, and even makeup collabs.
Katya also has a talk show with Grindr, called Who's the A**hole?, where she interviews celebrity guests about sex, dating, and navigating the complex world of gay apps.
Fans have plenty of Katya content to consume online, but the Drag Race superstar is standing firm on her decision to not return for another season.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 premieres Friday, May 9 on Paramount+.
