Along with the announcement, Paramount+ also confirmed that companion series RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked is coming back with the main competition. Known as an essential part of every Drag Race episode, Untucked features moments that don't make it to the main series and showcases what happens when the queens are free to speak their minds while whey wait for the judges to evaluate their performances on the challenges of the episode.
All Stars 9 Will Be The First-Ever Charity Season Additionally, Paramount+ revealed that RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 will be the very first season in which the 200,000 cash prize won't be directed at any of the queen's pockets. Instead, each of he contestants was asked to select a charity organization that will receive the donation from the winning queen. The "competing" charities include The Trevor Project, National Black Justice Collective, Trans Lifeline and others.
As usual, the ru-veal of the All Stars 9 queens was made through a livestream which allowed each of them to talk about their journeys in Drag Race herstory, their personal experiences and the charities they chose to donate the prize money to. Drag Racefans can also expect past contestants to make cameos throughout the episodes, as it frequently happens in All Stars seasons.
