Season of television series

The tenth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race began airing on March 22, 2018, on VH1. The premiere was broadcast one week after the finale of the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,[1] and episodes are to be followed by RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked.[2][3] Contestants were officially announced on February 22, 2018, in a teaser trailer during an episode of All Stars 3 later followed by a special “Meet the Queens” live-stream on Facebook, hosted by season nine winner, Sasha Velour.[4] This season saw the return of season 9 contestant Eureka O’Hara who was removed from her original season after tearing her ACL. The prizes for the winner of this season include a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000. This is the first season in which each episode was 90 minutes long.[5]

The theme song played during the runway segment every episode was “Snapshot”, and the song played during the closing credits was “Rock It (To The Moon)”, both songs from the album Remember Me: Essential, Vol. 1.

Much like the previous season, it featured the top four contestants of the season advance to the finale, and feature the “Lip-Sync for the Crown” ” where there will be two rounds of lipsyncs and the winner of both lipsyncs will move ahead to the final lipsync and who ever wins the final lipsync will be declared as the winner.
