The queens aren’t the only stars making an entrance, with Drag Race Down Under vs The World adding a lineup of familiar faces to the judging panel.
Stan has unveiled the celebrity guest judges joining Michelle Visage, Rhys Nicholson and Lazy Susan, along with a fresh trailer offering another look at the global competition.
Leading the lineup are Aussie pop artist BEKS and trailblazing footballer Josh Cavallo, alongside actor Keiynan Lonsdale, actress Markella Kavenagh, RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs the World winner Blu Hydrangea and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK champion Lawrence Chaney.

Hosted by Michelle Visage, the new series brings together 11 queens from around the world to compete against some of Down Under’s fiercest alumni, all hoping to become the first ever Queen of the Mother Tucking World.
Unlike previous seasons of Drag Race Down Under, the competition introduces a new elimination format, with the week’s top two queens deciding which of the bottom performers will be sent home before the final lip sync determines who has the final say.
Reflecting on her guest judging role, Aussie pop artist BEKS said appearing on the series was a full circle moment after years of support from the drag community.
“Guest judging RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under was such an honour. Before the music industry believed in me, the drag community did.”
Josh Cavallo said the series continues to celebrate authenticity and courage at a time when those values remain as important as ever.
“Drag is a powerful celebration of authenticity, creativity, and courage, and I’m proud to be part of a show that continues to inspire people to embrace exactly who they are.”

Drag Race Down Under vs The World premieres July 24, only on Stan, with new episodes streaming weekly.
