How to watch Queen of the Universe in Australia
Just like the first season, Queen of the Universe Season 2 will feature queens from all over the world, in an epic battle of talents and stage-slaying presence to determine the next singing drag queen superstar. In addition to winning the coveted title, the contestants also go big to take home the US$250,000 cash prize.
Graham Norton returns as Queen of the Universe host alongside our favourite pop diva panel consisting of RuPaul’s Drag Race host Michelle Visage, Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel, and singer-actress Vanessa Williams. Spice Girls icon Mel B also joins the pop diva panel this season, replacing Season 1 judge Leona Lewis.
Confirmed queens for the second season are Aura Eternal from Drag Race Italia and Love Masisi from Drag Race Holland. Brazilian drag superstar, Chloe V, also joins the competition with the pressure of following fellow Brazilian Grag Queen’s steps, winner of Queen Universe Season 1. But with a soulful singing voice and mighty looks that could turn a drag queen green with envy, she’s confident and determined to get that crown home.
The rest of the competitors include Jazell Royale, an award winning pageant queen from the United States who’s clearly more than just a gorgeous face; Maxie from the Philippines, who has been acting since she was just a kid but has never really left her home country; Californian queen Militia Scunt, all geared up and ready to be the next universal singing sensation; Israeli drag performer Miss Sistrata, former soldier turned true diva; Taiga Brava from Mexico with her unshakeable confidence and powerhouse vocals; and English contender Viola from the United Kingdom, the competition’s youngest contender ever at only 19.
Australia’s Trevor Ashley is also one of the competing queens. A seasoned theater queen who’s been an integral part of the Australian drag community for nearly two decades, Queen of the Universe is her first televised singing competition. Don’t miss every new episode streaming now!
