RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is coming back to basic cable TV, honey.
Due to issues caused by the current health crisis, the reality competition between past contestants of Drag Race, originally slated to run on Showtime, has returned to VH1 for its airing.
The premiere is Friday, June 5, at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific. As usual, competitors will vie for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and a $100,000 prize.
"For All Stars 5, we've come up with a new twist that is so twisted it's guaranteed to twist your twisted minds," said host and executive producer RuPaul.
Reacquaint yourselves with the 10 All Stars 5 contestants below. Photos and bios courtesy of VH1.

On All Stars 5, this high-kicking queen is ready to pick up where she left off and remind everyone that drag is not a contact sport!
