Start your engines, the second season of the Stan Original series RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under is almost here.
Just like last season, we will be watching in anticipation as some of Australia and New Zealand's best drag queens sashay to the main stage to compete to become Down Under's next drag superstar.
Hosted by American drag queen and television personality RuPaul, the new season will premiere on Saturday, July 30.
Meet the queens appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under season two. Post continues below.
Alongside host RuPaul, Drag Race veteran Michelle Visage and Australian comedian Rhys Nicholson will return to judge the 10 new queens.
A string of special celebrity guest judges, who are yet to be announced, will also join the duo.
"I am thrilled to produce and host a brand new season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under and demanded a second season," RuPaul told Mamamia in a statement.
"We've only just begun to shine a worldwide spotlight on the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent of Australiasian queens."
When the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under premiered last year, the show became the first ever Stan Original reality series.
New Zealand-based queen Kita Mean took the crown in the inaugural series, while the runner-ups were Art Simone, Karen from Finance, and Scarlet Adams.
Now, the second season is expected to be bigger and better than ever.
As we countdown until July 30, here's what we know about the 10 queens competing in season two of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.

Yuri Guaii (Auckland, NZ), 25.

Yuri really had to try hard to get herself out of the "spooky girl" box – and that she did – now living up to the reputation of being one of Auckland’s most talented drag make-up artists.
