'Canada's Drag Race' Guest Hosts Include Some Seriously Iconic Celebrities
Bring me my girls! With the premiere of Canada's Drag Race just weeks away, more and more exciting news about the new series has been coming out. Recently, the show's list of guest hosts was announced, and it includes some iconic Canadian faces.
Seeing as this is the first season of the RuPaul-produced series, we don't know exactly what to expect, although the new trailer gave us a rough idea.
Much like its predecessor, Canada's Drag Race will follow a group of talented queens from all across the country as they compete in a series of challenges to find out who among them will be crowned Canada's first drag superstar.
This season's cast includes queens from all walks of life, and will be judged by three Canadian icons who are sure to bring the drama. Each episode will include a guest host, most of who are Canadian and will bring their own expert opinion to the panel.
Canada's Drag Race is set to premiere on Thursday, July 2. Get to know this season's guests below!
