R-U ready to meet seven more queens? It is almost time to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 episode 2 online, even without cable. The latest season of the drag queen competition series continues with "the most game-changing season ever," thanks to a new twist. 

RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 episode 2 start time, channel

RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 episode 2 airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Friday, January 14 on VH1.

That twist is the franchise's first-ever heterosexual, cisgender male contestant — Maddy Morphosis! This marks the first time that a contestant does not identify as LGBTQ.

Episode 2 introduces seven more queens, after last week's premiere brought the first half to the Werk Room. In addition to Maddy Morphosis, fans will meet Angeria Paris VanMicheals, Daya Betty, DeJa Skye, Jasmine Kennedie, Jorgeous and Lady Camden.

Season 14 will also bring the star power to the guest judges table. Lizzo appeared in the premiere and future guests include Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys and Taraji P. Henson all set to make appearances.
