RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 Premieres

RuPaul’s Drag Race returns for its 17th season with a highly anticipated parody titled 'Squirrel Games,' inspired by Netflix's hit series Squid Game. The premiere features 14 new queens and beloved alumni competing in a playful rendition of 'Red Light, Green Light' called 'Ru Light, Green Light,' where eliminated contestants face humorous pie attacks instead of dire consequences. The iconic puppet Lil' Poundcake also makes a notable appearance, enhancing the chaotic spirit of the challenge. RuPaul, along with a star-studded lineup of guest judges including Katy Perry, kicks off the season, which promises to blend humor and competition in a big-budget production. The season premieres on January 3 at 8 PM ET/PT on MTV, followed by the behind-the-scenes series RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked.
