Sounds… intense.

Fans also get a first glimpse of some of the new contestants – including one with the most compelling beret we’ve ever seen – and a momentary glimpse at runway looks.

“You’re fired… everyone is fired”

As entertaining as the trailer itself are some of the reactions in the comments.

“I just know the twink intern who accidentally leaked this is scared rn” said one.

“The logo is cute tho” said another. (Quite!)

Said German drag queen Katy Bähm: “Rupaul: YOURE FIRED.. you’re fired… everyone is fired.”

We hope not!
