  • Number of queens: 8
  • Winner: Jinkx Monsoon of Portland, Oregon
  • Runway song: "New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold"
  • The first season to feature exclusively former winners from previous seasons of the franchise (including the main US series, All Stars, and Drag Race UK).
  • The format for this season takes a page back from All Stars Seasons 2 to 4, mixing it with a points system and no eliminations at all until the finale. Each week, the top two All Stars receive one "Legendary Legend Star" each and Lip-Sync for Their Legacy. The winner of the Lip-Sync chooses one safe queen to block for the next week; a blocked queen can still win the challenge and block another queen in turn, but cannot receive a Star. At the end of the season, the four queens with most Stars proceed to a "Lip-Sync Smackdown for the Crown" knock-out tournament.
  • This season has the smallest cast of any All Stars to date.
