Kandy Muse on House of Villains season 2; Utica Queen a.k.a. Ethan Mundt on Project Runway season 21; Monét X Change on The Traitors season 4.

It's hard to think of too many reality shows that have created so many stars as the overall RuPaul's Drag Race franchise. Mama Ru's queendom has been expanding its international presence for nearly two decades — helping drag artists, queer people, and trans people to develop massive fandoms and long-lasting careers after being introduced to a global audience through Drag Race.

Before diving into this list, however, let's noting a few parameters. Firstly, this list only includes reality shows that these drag entertainers did after their Drag Race debut. Moreover, docuseries and lifestyle reality shows aren't featured on the list (only other reality competition shows). Lastly, we're excluding all Drag Race-related spinoffs and international versions — like RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars seasons — in the criteria.

With that in mind, let's get to it!

Adore Delano

RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 and All Stars 2 alum Adore Delano competed in the fourth season of MTV's Ex on the Beach, which was dubbed Peak of Love.

Alaska

After being crowned the winner of All Stars 2, Alaska competed on VH1's Scared Famous reality competition and finished in sixth place overall.

Alyssa Edwards

Trust the Duchess! After becoming a Drag Race legend, Alyssa Edwards' dance company, Beyond Belief, was featured in an audition for America's Got Talent. In 2024, Alyssa was also featured as a contestant on Amazon Freevee's The GOAT, where she got ninth place.

Baga Chipz

Baga Chipz became a legitimate superstar after competing in the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. In the months and years that followed, Baga went on to compete on Celebrity MasterChef, The Celebrity Circle, and Celebrity Karaoke Club, just to name a few!

Bob the Drag Queen

Drag Race season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen has become known for her acting roles and guest appearances as a special judge in other reality shows — not to mention being a cohost of We're Here for three seasons. As a contestant in the third season of The Traitors, Bob delivered drama, chaos, and pure entertainment.

Courtney Act

Courtney Act has become quite the reality TV veteran following her breakout appearance on Drag Race season 6. In the years that followed, Courtney most notably won season 21 of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. Other reality competitions include the Australian version of Dancing With the Stars (as well as a spot in the All Stars edition of the series in 2022) and season 5 of The Masked Singer in Australia.

Kandy Muse

A runner-up on both season 13 and All Stars 8, Kandy Muse has also been confirmed as a contestant for the second season of E!'s House of Villains. The Muse is back to reality TV, and we're dying to see her again on our screens!

Keiona

Keiona, the legendary winner of Drag Race France season 2, competed in the French version of Strictly Come Dancing (titled Danse avec les stars in France). The drag superstar had an incredible performance in the series and placed fourth overall.

Laganja Estranja

After making a huge splash on Drag Race season 6, Laganja Estranja returned to reality TV as a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance season 15.

Miss Fiercalicious

The first-ever edition of The Traitors Canada featured none other than the "sabotage" queen herself, Miss Fiercalicious, who broke into reality TV competing on Canada's Drag Race season 3.

Peppermint

In 2024, Peppermint became the first trans woman and drag artist to compete in the U.S. edition of Peacock's hit reality competition series The Traitors.

Shangela

Shangela made headlines while competing on Dancing With the Stars season 31 and making it all the way to the grand finale.

Vanessa Vanjie

A fully out-of-drag Vanessa Vanjie competed on Paramount+'s All Star Shore — a party-themed competition series within the Jersey Shore universe that featured reality TV stars from different shows competing for a grand prize of $150,000.

The All Stars 9 finalist also had her own dating show, Vanjie: 24 Hours of Love, on WOW Presents Plus.

The Vivienne

The late, great The Vivienne — best known for winning Drag Race UK season 1 — had an exciting journey as a contestant on Dancing On Ice. This OG champion competed in the 15th season of the series alongside reality TV juggernauts like Ekin-Su (Love Island) and Joey Essex (The Only Way is Essex), made it to the finale, and finished her run in third place.

Tayce

RuPaul's Drag Race season 2 icon Tayce not only competed on the 2024 edition of the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special, but she actually won the season.

Utica Queen

Drag Race season 13 star Utica Queen — credited as her out-of-drag name Ethan Mundt — was cast in the Freeform/Hulu/Disney+ reboot of Project Runway. As a phenomenal fashion designer and visual artist, fans were thrilled about this announcement.

Monét X Change

Between winning Miss congeniality on Drag Race season 10, being crowned as the winner of All Stars 4 (in an infamous tie with Trinity The Tuck), and returning for All Stars 7 (referenced as the all-winners season of Drag Race), Monét X Change has plenty of experience in reality. In 2025, Monét was announced as a competitor for The Traitors season 4.

Plane Jane

Plane Jane, a chaotic queen on Drag Race season 16 that finished the show as a top 3 finalist, was also announced in 2025 as a cast member for season 3 of House of Villains.

Jujubee

Many fans refer to Queen of the Universe as being part of the overall Drag Race franchise given its ties — on- and off-camera — to Mama Ru's queendom. It's worth noting, however, that this isn't the case!

Queen of the Universe is a completely separate show, meaning that Jujubee should absolutely be included on this list.
