It's glamour for good in this season's "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," as the queens are set to compete for charity for the first time.
The newly announced Season 9 cast of eight "Drag Race" alumni will compete for $200,000, which will be donated to a charity of their choice, Paramount+ announced Tuesday.
"The time has come for drag queens to save the world," RuPaul said in a super-hero-themed cast reveal video on YouTube.
The prize will be provided by The Palette Fund, a private foundation "dedicated to breaking down barriers and advancing social change in communities that are under-resourced and facing significant challenges," according to a press release.
'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' release date
Season 9 of "All Stars" will begin on May 17 on Paramount+ with a two-episode season premiere.
"RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked," the behind-the-scenes companion show to "All Stars," will similarly be available to stream starting May 17.
