Season 16
List of episodes

The seventeenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race is set to premiere on January 3, 2025. This marks the third season to air through American cable network MTV. The reality competition series documents drag queen RuPaul in search of the "Next Drag Superstar" for the United States with a cash prize of $200,000.

Production

Development

Throughout social media, the host RuPaul announced a casting call for drag performers to apply for its seventeenth season on October 30, 2023. The final deadline coincided with the premiere episode of season sixteen on January 5, 2024.[1] Two months later, RuPaul published his memoir The House of Hidden Meanings and embarked his book tour where he was given a flash drive to drag queen Hormona Lisa's audition tape.[2] American cable network MTV later announced the series renewal including their companion series on August 16.[3]

Workroom

As season sixteen received several nominations at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, many journalists had the opportunity to visit the main stage and the workroom set.[4] Fans quickly realized the newly-constructed set for the upcoming season with journalists for People witnessing previous contestants Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige and Morphine Love Dion using the main stage for a lip-sync contest.[5] Architectural Digest released a video on August 22, where previous winner Nymphia Wind tours around the set with production designer Jen Chu explaining the scenery and inspiration for the series.[6]

Marketing

A ten-second teaser was released on November 22 throughout social media, with RuPaul announcing the season premiering in January 2025.[7] Nymphia Wind presented the contestants through the series official YouTube channel on December 4, showcasing their themed-outfits and background.[8] Variety reported spin-off winner Monét X Change will host The Pit Stop, a webseries served as an aftershow. The first episode will premiere through YouTube with alumni contestant Raven as the first guest on January 4, 2025.[9]

Format

Further information: RuPaul's Drag Race § Format

The season retained the same format as previous season where contestants rank each other based on their performances for the main challenge; this format parodies television series The Circle. A new format involved judge panelist Michelle Visage in a dunk tank where contestants choose two out of the ten random levers, which if successfully struck, would drop Visage into the water; the format can reward the contestant immunity. If they selected the incorrect lever, the contestant will be up for elimination.[10]
