Paramount+ about to launch the second edition of Queen Of The Universe, the international song contest for drag queens
Starting June 3, the highly anticipated second season of Queen Of The Universe will finally land on Paramount+. Hosted by five-time BAFTA TV Award winner Graham Norton, immediately after the U.S., the new season will debut on Paramount+ in Italy, as well as in the U.K., Latin America, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Australia.

Queen Of The Universe follows the world's most talented drag queens as they compete for global success and countries compete to showcase their best talents. Here is this edition of Queen Of The Universe’ ten contestants:


Aura Eternal (Palermo, Italy)

After participating in the second season of Drag Race Italia, where she finished in the top three, Aura Eternal has already demonstrated amazing skills in her home country. Now Aura is ready to prove to the rest of the world that her vocal talents are equal to her stunning looks, and she is poised to become the next world-renowned drag queen singer.


Chloe V (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)

After winning last season's Queen of the Universe in Brazil, Chloe V knows she has to keep her standards high. But with her powerful voice and true queen look that could make a drag queen green with envy, she is confident that no one in the competition can defeat her and steal her crown.


Jazell Royale (Orlando, Florida, USA)

Jazell Royale is more than just a gorgeous face and an award-winning beauty queen, and it's time for her star to shine. She is known in the United States for her many hits and viral videos, but she hopes the Queen of the Universe stage will allow her to be remembered for her greatest gift: her voice.


Love Masisi (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Having lived in several countries throughout her adventurous life, Love Masisi is now proud to call the Netherlands home. After a previous appearance in Drag Race Holland 2, she is ready to showcase her passion for music and spread a message of hope and love around the world.


Maxie (Manila, Philippines)

Maxie is already known in the Philippines as a top performer and LGBTQ+ advocate, but now she is ready to be known as a universal singing sensation. Although she has appeared several times on TV since she was just a child, she has never left her country. Now she is ready to take the Queen of the Universe stage to fulfill her dream.


Militia Scunt (San Francisco, California, U.S.A.)

Known in California for her over-the-top drag look and soulful voice, Militia Scunt is poised to conquer the universe and become the next superstar drag queen singer. A triple threat with skills in singing, dancing and style, she is sure she has what it takes to rout the competition and bring the crown to the United States – period!


Miss Sistrata (Tel Aviv, Israel)

Miss Sistrata, reporting for beauty! This former female soldier is ready to take the Queen of the Universe stage like a true diva. With her vocal skills and looks that leave the audience spellbound, she is ready to make her mark in the competition.


Taiga Brava (Cancun, Mexico)

Taiga Brava arrives on the main stage from the sunny shores of Cancun, ready to make her country and family proud with her vocal skills and drag queen look. With her effervescent personality and unwavering confidence, she is certain she has what it takes to bring the crown back to Mexico.


Trevor Ashley (Sydney, Australia)

Trevor Ashley is an accomplished stage drag queen who has been part of the Australian drag community for more than 20 years. Despite her many career achievements (including winning Australia's equivalent of the Tony Award), this is her first TV singing competition-and the diva from Down Under is ready to hit the big time.


Viola (Coventry, England, U.K.)

At only nineteen years old, Viola may be the youngest contestant in the competition, but don't be fooled - she is a talented musician who has worked her whole life to get this opportunity. Joining the drag community only a few years ago, this rising star is ready to show the universe how much she can shine.


Each episode will see the world's most fierce drag queens debut with a new musical performance in front of a live audience and the judges' Pop Diva Panel in hopes of being crowned Queen of the Universe. Along with the title, the winning queen will receive a cash prize of $250,000!

This season, global superstar Mel B joins returning judges including platinum-selling recording artist, three-time Emmy-winning RuPaul's Drag Race producer and judge Michelle Visage, multiple Emmy and Grammy nominee Vanessa Williams, and American drag superstar Trixie Mattel. Global drag icon and multiple Emmy Award winner RuPaul is executive producer of the series, along with MTV Entertainment Studios and World of Wonder, the producers of the Emmy Award-winning series RuPaul's Drag Race.

The cast of Italian voice actors will consist of some professionals and some drag queens: in addition to Aura Eternal who will voice herself, drag queen Lina Galore, as well as Simone Leonardi, Mirko Ranù and Antonello Angiolillo will take part in the project.
