Season 2

The first season of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race premiered Friday, April 24, 2020, on VH1 (US). The four-part event series judging panel include RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews. [1] [2] The secret celebrities underwent a drag transformation and were mentored by Drag Race Royalty as "Queens Supremes".

This season resembles that of the main series - with each episode consisting of a mini-challenge (the winner of which earns an advantage in the maxi challenge), the maxi challenge and a lip-sync (which determines who is the winner of the week). [3] [4]
