Season chronology | |
The fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race premiered January 6, 2023. [1] The reality competition series moved to MTV for broadcast, instead of VH1 in the United States. [2]
This season features the largest cast in the show's history, with sixteen queens competing for $200,000, the largest cash prize in the show's history. It is also the first season to feature biological relatives, twins Sugar and Spice. [3] Series judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews returned, and Ts Madison, who had previously appeared as a recurring guest judge, joined the judges panel. [4]
The season was won by Sasha Colby, the second trans woman to win the main series of RuPaul's Drag Race, with Anetra as the runner-up. [5] Malaysia Babydoll Foxx was named Miss Congeniality. [6]
In November 2021, RuPaul announced a casting call for season fifteen of RuPaul's Drag Race on social media. The casting call was open until January 7, 2022, the day season fourteen premiered. [7] In August 2022, VH1 officially announced the show's renewal, as well for its companion series, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked . [8] This season also included the milestone for its 200th episode of the series. [9]
In December 2022, it was announced that season 15 would begin with a special two-part premiere on January 6, 2023, on MTV instead of VH1. [10] Later that month, season 14 winner Willow Pill revealed the season's cast, with a record-breaking sixteen queens competing. The drag racing themed promotional images accompanying the cast announcement drew comparisons to the promotion for the show's debut season. [11]
Following the two-part season premiere, subsequent episodes were sixty minutes long, including commercials. This was a reversion to the previous format for seasons one through nine before the show expanded to ninety minutes in season 10. Further, instead of airing Untucked immediately after each main episode, MTV aired the new reality program The Real Friends of WeHo between the main episode and Untucked. The shortened format and programming lineup change elicited backlash from the show's fan base. [12]
On February 9 it was announced that beginning with the March 10 episode, episodes for the remainder of the season would be returning to the ninety-minute format. [13] On August 9, ninety minute edits of the entire season (including the previously truncated episodes 3–10) were released on Paramount+ in the United States and WOW Presents Plus worldwide. [14]
