“Queen of the Universe” follows a group of 14 singing drag queens from around the world as they competed for the title of Queen of the Universe.
The show "brings drag queens from across the globe to battle it out in a singing competition for the ages. The Queens take center stage in an over the top live singing competition to see who reigns supreme,” said the show’s official bio.
A total if fourteen queens competed in the first season of the show. However, the one who prevailed was Grag Queen, representing her home country of Brazil.
Meanwhile former American Idol finalist Ada Vox came in second and Atlanta’s own Aria B Cassadine in third. Only time will tell which queen is worthy of taking home the prize for the season two crown!
