Rupaul’s Drag Race Down Under is here, it’s queer and we can’t wait to witness the uniqueness, nerve and talent that Australia and New Zealand has to offer.

It all kicked off on Friday night with a lavish event at the Sydney Opera House, hosted by television commentator, David Campbell.

Although RuPaul herself was nowhere to be seen, singer Rita Ora and director Taika Waititi were in the audience to cheer the queens on as the first screening was played.

But it was on Saturday May 1 when, after years of speculation and months hype, the Stan Original Series officially aired to the world.

But who are the queens who are gracing our screens?

Drum roll, please…
