\nRuPaul\u2018s Drag Race<\/em> icon and RuPaul\u2019s very own makeup artist Raven is returning to compete in the franchise\u2019s new spinoff Drag Race Down Under vs The World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRaven was announced as part of the spinoff series\u2019 cast on Tuesday, marking her long-awaited return to the Drag Race<\/em> universe, in front of the camera, that is. The drag artist, whose real name is David Petruschin, first appeared on season two of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> in 2010, where she placed second; Raven competed once more in season one of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars<\/em> in 2012, where she again placed as runner-up.<\/p>\n

\n\tPetruschin joined the team at RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> in 2017 during filming for season nine, where she has remained through season 18 and earned one Emmy Award and two additional nods. As Raven, she also co-hosts the widely popular Drag Race<\/em> companion fashion YouTube series Fashion Photo RuView<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRaven\u2019s casting on Drag Race Down Under vs The World<\/em>, which is hosted by RuPaul\u2019s right-hand Michelle Visage, came as a shock on Tuesday. She was previously teased as part of the All Stars<\/em> season seven, the first all-winners Drag Race<\/em> season, in a gaggy moment where she entered the Werk Room but did not end up competing on the installment. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile some users speculated online that Raven\u2019s casting may be another gag, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has confirmed she will be an official competitor on Drag Race Down Under vs The World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside Raven, 10 additional queens join the first season of Drag Race Down Under vs The World<\/em>. The cast includes Art Simone (Down Under); Coco Jumbo (Down Under); Estrella Xtravaganza (Espa\u00f1a); Flor (Down Under); LaLa Ri (USA); Miss Jade So (Philippines); Michael Marouli (UK); Nikita Iman (Down Under); Nicole Paige Brooks (USA); and Vybe (Down Under). <\/p>\n

\nDrag Race Down Under vs The World<\/em> will premiere on WOW Presents Plus on July 24, where Visage will host alongside judges Rhys Nicholson and Drag Race Down Under<\/em> season four winner Lazy Susan. <\/p>\n

\nDown Under vs The World<\/em> is the third\u00a0vs The World<\/em>\u00a0spinoff for the franchise, following in the footsteps of the British and Canadian-set\u00a0vs The World<\/em>\u00a0shows, which bring queens from around the globe to compete against one another.\u00a0It is an extension of Drag Race Down Under<\/em>, which was originally named RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race Down Under<\/em> and debuted in 2021. In March 2024, the series was renamed to simply\u00a0Drag Race Down Under\u00a0<\/em>when RuPaul stepped down as host and Visage took his place for season four.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOf being asked to host\u00a0Drag Race Down Under<\/em>, Visage previously told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u00a0she had \u201czero hesitation\u201d when asked to step into the role. \u201cAlso, what a freaking honor. Me and some of our fabulous queens from Down Under joining me? It\u2019s just wonderful,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\nDrag Race Down Under vs The World\u00a0<\/em>is a WOW production in collaboration with Stan in Australia and WOW Presents Plus. Fenton Bailey, Barbato,\u00a0Tom Campbell\u00a0and RuPaul Charles serve as executive producers for WOW; Adrian Swift and Tina Diaz serve as executive producers for Stan.<\/p>\n
