R U ready?! It's time to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 online, even if you don't have cable. The reality competition series has a new home on MTV and will feature a record-breaking 16 contestants — including the franchise's first twins.
Over the past few years, Drag Race has been challenging the notion of who and what a drag queen is. In recent years, the franchise has cast first trans male contestant, the first cisgender man and the first cisgender woman. While not quite as boundary-breaking, Sugar and Spice will be the show's first-ever identical twins.
RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 will also bring the star power to the guest judges table, with Ariana Grande, Ali Wong, Hayley Kiyoko, Janelle Monáe and Maren Morris among the celebrities. They'll join mainstays Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews.
Here's what you need to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 online (and there's a whole lot of other new shows and movies to watch this weekend) Plus, scroll down for the full cast list.
