RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars is an all-star spin-off of RuPaul's Drag Race. The first season premiered on the Logo network on October 22, 2012. Cast members were announced on August 6, 2012.

The show featured twelve returning contestants representing all four previous seasons for a chance to be inducted into the "Drag Race Hall of Fame". This series aired six hour-length episodes. Contestants were judged on their "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent" and, since they competed in teams of two, also 'Synergy'. The winner of this season, Chad Michaels, received a supply of MAC cosmetics, a "one of a kind trip," and a cash prize of $100,000. The theme song playing during the runway every episode was "Sexy Drag Queen" (dootdoot Remix).
