The new season centered around chari-tea begins streaming exclusively on the service on Friday, May 17 with two all-new episodes featuring Keke and Stephanie Psu as guest judges.

A press release reports that in season nine, eight fan-favorite queens return to use their drag superpowers for good, competing to win a supersized donation of $200,000, provided by The Palette Fund, for a charity of their choosing.

The Palette Fund is a private foundation dedicated to breaking down barriers and advancing social change in communities that are under-resourced and facing significant challenges. This season marks the first time in franchise herstory where the queens are competing for charity and harnessing their drag skills to win money for a variety of organizations.
