Drag Race U.K. host Graham Norton will host the series, while Grammy-nominated pop singer Leona Lewis, screen and stage star Vanessa Williams, Drag Race All Stars Season 3 winner Trixie Mattel, and everyone’s favorite squirrel friend, Michelle Visage, will judge the queens. RuPaul is also an executive producer on the series.

Contestants hail from 10 different countries, including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Denmark, Australia, Canada, England, France, China, and India. They will debut a new musical performance in front of a live audience.
