Episodes
Aquaria
Follow Aquaria as she rides the highs and lows of joining a major tour for the first time and her fate on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 hangs in the balance. From swapping wigs with her Drag and Tour mom, Sharon Needles, to anxiously waiting to find out if she won Season 10, Aquaria uses her time on the Werq The World tour to solidify her legacy and grow as a performer.
Valentina
VALENTINA, the Miss Congeniality of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9, tries to keep up with the fast pace and intense hustle of an international tour. Candidly, we see how Valentina survives the non-glamour of economy European flights and 13 hour bus rides across the continent, while speaking frankly about her long-time struggles with depression. While her tardiness often upsets the other queens along the way, Valentina’s charm ultimately steals everyone's heart as she chases her true purpose in the spotlight of the stage.
Kim Chi
Follow Kim Chi as she transforms into Queen Serenity in front of euphoric crowds and bonds with the beloved Werq the World dancers on 5am ferry rides to Copenhagen. She is the self-proclaimed “jokester” of the tour and while her cooperative nature earns her the title “Employee of the Month” by the production crew, the other queens name her the “shadiest of all!". In the immortal words of Valentina, she trolls the other Queens with her “hyper-galactic shade!".
Latrice Royale
Follow Latrice Royale as she truly embodies the phrase Make It Work! From lost luggage to a late bus, Latrice faces intense trials and tribulations to live up to her legendary status. Not only is she the rock of the tour, but she's tour mom and auntie to multiple Queens as unexpected friendships flourish.
Violet Chachki
Violet Chachki is known as a Fashion Diva in the glamorous world of Moschino with her mind blowing burlesque and stunningly beautiful aerial numbers. Violet intimately divulges the origin of her drag persona as we get an up close opportunity to follow her during a fashion photoshoot in Paris within the demanding schedule of the tour.
Detox
We follow iconic queen, DETOX, on her last show day in Paris, as she prepares to do her sleek and sexy number for the final time before leaving the tour. The “auntie” of the tour is easily ticked off when other queens are late, but somehow she always finds a loving way to whip them into shape.
Kennedy Davenport
KENNEDY DAVENPORT, one of the hardest-busting dancing queens in the business, takes us behind the curtain as she readies her high energy performance that kicks off the show almost every night! We see Miss Davenport’s hilariously authentic self shine through while learning about her strong work ethic, background, and inspiring passion for the art of drag.
Sharon Needles
SHARON NEEDLES, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 is clear on one thing, she hates being filmed. Yet it’s quite impossible to avoid her raw charisma and intellectual wit under her sometimes controversial behavior. Since taking time to work more on her music than classic drag appearances, Sharon struggles with choreography and costume reveals until she finds her spooky groove performing her hit track - Black Licorice. This episode is a deliciously dark treat for sure.
Alyssa Edwards
ALYSSA EDWARDS needs no introduction. A powerhouse queen on stage who also makes you feel like you’re her best friend behind the curtain when those cameras start to roll. Alyssa’s hypnotizing personality and high octane energy blows in like a hurricane during this epic tour stop in Barcelona, Spain.
