Never fear, the queens of the north are here. Hot off the heels of the RuPaulā€™s Drag Race: All-Stars 5 finale, a new spinoff series with drag performers is airing. This one takes place in Canada and features Brooke Lynn Hytes as one of the main judges. Unfortunately for fans in the United States, there are very limited ways of watching Canadaā€™s Drag Race.

Thereā€™s a new version of ā€˜RuPaulā€™s Drag Raceā€™ taking over Twitter

So, youā€™ve seen the clip of Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and now youā€™re hooked. Thanks to RuPaul and the production company World of Wonder, thereā€™s a canadian version of RuPaulā€™s Drag Race currently airing up north.

The Canadian queens competing for the crown this season include Anastarzia Anaquway, BOA, Ilona Verley, Jimbo, Juice Boxx, Kiara, Kyne, Lemon, Priyanka, Rita Baga, Scarlett BoBo, and Tynomi Banks. However, a few of the performers have already been eliminated. RuPaulā€™s Drag Race season 11 finalist, Brooke Lynn Hytes is a permanent judge on this series.

ā€œHerstory! I remember a year ago I was in the [World of Wonder] offices, just after filming season 11, and I said ā€˜I want a Canadian Drag Raceā€¦ and I want to be a judge!ā€™ Well, dreams come true,ā€ Brooke Lynn Hytes captioned one of her Instagram pictures. ā€œI couldnā€™t be more excited and honored to be a permanent judge on [Canadaā€™s Drag Race] and to be able to help show the amazing talent the north has to offer.ā€
