Diva superstar RuPaul has announced when the next season of the drag race is going to premiere.

Are Miss Fame & Pearl Going To Be Contestants On 'RuPaul?'

According to The Huffington Post on Thursday, the seventh season of the hit reality competition will be back this January. Season 6 premiered in February so season 7 will be a month earlier.

RuPaul was on a recent episode of "Savage Love" from Dan Savage's podcast where he mentioned that the series would be back at that time as well as something that brings everyone on the show together.

RuPaul Tells Contestants What They Should 'Never Remove'

"We're starting our seventh season in January," RuPaul said. "But, you know, it's interesting, as you're saying that it's occurred to me that Drag Race has sort of become the Airbnb or Uber of drag - where it's the connector. It's that phone app that connects all these people together."

Even though the month has been announced, it still remains a mystery on which contestants will be appearing in the race that year. Huffington Post pointed out that it's been almost a year since they released the queens for season 6 so it should be pretty soon to find out who the new competitors will be.

RuPaul judge Michelle Visage recently revealed to Chron that some enticing moments are about to take place in the race.

"I think things are very different this season, which is good in my book," Visage said. "I think people are going to be excited about the way things are done this season. Really, really exciting stuff coming up. I'm not saying anything else except for that."
