Drag Race Season 16 Early Cast Rumors

Here is my list of girls rumored to be cast on season 16 of Drag Race according to my sources on reddit, enjoy.

[@nothankyou2426]

Aunty chan has been in all the cast rumours since like season 12 this one better come true 😿

[@carlosgomezjimenez4458]

also eva young and lagoona lol

[@ToyTALLz]

Y'all got 3 girls right

[@sya]

Aunty Chan should've been on the show by now. She is so funny and so talented, also we need more Asian representation!

[@MiffetBlue]

Ok, but WHY do we need more Asian representation? No shade, just curious 👀

[@sya]

@@MiffetBlue Why not? Representation matters.

[@MiffetBlue]

@@sya ok, but again, WHY does it matter? I grew up in the 80s which wasn’t that long ago when the best suited for the position got the placement whether it be for a play or a job or whatever. People don’t do that anymore and I need to understand the ‘WHY’ of it all.

[@JovFlores]

@@MiffetBlue ok boomer

[@MiffetBlue]

@@JovFlores you’re not too bright are you? ‘Boomers’ were born in the mid to late 40s when men came home from the war and all the wives got pregnant. I’m the daughter of a boomer as I was born in the early 70s. You should have paid attention in school so you’d be able to string together more than two words and have them actually make sense. :)

[@balyss4833]

Mera? Bambi? Lagoona? Aunty CHAN?!?!? I’d literally cry if this cast was real

[@Peter-hz5nk]

Imagine if Mera was on the cast? Have y’all watched her morning shows? She’s great and funny.

[@330kiy]

YASSSSS

[@flormira9911]

She would litterally have a score sheet on the table calculating her competitors scores and definitely bringing it up

[@Peter-hz5nk]

@@flormira9911 Right? She seems very calculated. I doubt she would make a fool of herself on national television. Have a feeling her runways will be glamour and she seems versatile in terms of looks.

[@flormira9911]

@@Peter-hz5nk for sure, I would love to see her just absolutely destroy the competition - also her on allstars? She would ruin the track record thing so fast. She would be like "actually guys, your wrong it averages out to this ppe instead." and everyone would be so confused

[@Peter-hz5nk]

@@flormira9911 Lmfao. She's so articulate. They would be threatened by her. On Allstars, she better hope she doesn't land in the bottom once. 🤣😅

[@ArtsyAmusing2848]

OMG PLEASE let Lagoona Bloo be on RPDR. She (imo) is the best vocalist in Stephanie's Child (no shade to Jan and Rosé). Her singing voice is out of this world. I kind of want her to be on Queen of the Universe too. ❤

[@ssectorlap]

I just hope season 16 and onwards for MTV NEVER EVER cut down the episodes to 40 minutes like EVER!!!

[@matthewmcneil216]

I also want better and more famous guest judges. these past couple seasons felt like all the budget went for the premier judge

[@flormira9911]

Personally I'm routing for Juno birch to finally be on drag race! It's definitely her time!

[@HarleyCringe]

Didn't she say she would never compete ?

[@Matt-oz1dm]

She's UK though so wrong franchise

[@flormira9911]

[@communistcardib1991]

if mera is on the cast and she gets eliminated before the finale i will literally cry, if she gets eliminated at the finale i will also cry, but in a dignified way

[@RaulLopez-qq8vl]

I want to see all the Chicago girls sooooo bad. Also Robin Graves would be an interesting choice, we havent seen an Iowa girl since season 7 I believe. I feel out of all the major cities Chicago has been done the dirtiest, we always get like 3-7 NYC girls per season but sometimes 1 Chicago girl a season and I think that's so bogus. Chicago has really good diverse drag and it NEEDS to be showcased more.

[@santiagov7163]

Houston has had only 1 queen appear MIB

[@RaulLopez-qq8vl]

@@santiagov7163 True but there has been quite a few Texas girls, but I definitely wouldn't be mad at seeing more Houston Queens.

[@matthewmcneil216]

agreed. I remember the initial season 15 rumors being that there would be 4 or 5 chicago girls and we didn't even get one this season.

[@NadineZed]

New to Chicago but the drag here is amazing! Eva Young, Aunty Chan, Apollo Summers, Vanity Unfair, Nico are some of the amazing performers I’ve had the chance to see!

[@jafxattak1775]

If any of these were to be true, I would have so many queens to root for: Amalara Sofia, Aunty Chan, Bambi Banks Coulée, Eva Young, Janelle No.5, Julia Starr, Lagoona Bloo, LANA JA’RAE, Mera Mangle, Miss Kendoll, Shontelle Sparkles

[@N4VHI]

You named everyone except the ones who really where cast lol

[@jafxattak1775]

@@N4VHII mean I was going based on *THIS* video

[@adamjustadam]

I really would like to see Lagoona Bloo get on Drag Race one day. I heard that she didn’t want to audition right after Jan and Rosé’s seasons.

[@JaysonMarte]

MERA MANGLE!! About time

[@tylerhaslett8875]

I would love to see Mera on Season 16!! She would kill all of the comedy & acting challenges. 😍😍😍

[@feliciaecheverria]

Right!!!!

[@freneticaesthetica]

Oh man…if Aunty Chan, Bambi Banks, and Eva Young were all on - what a treat that would be!

[@hayleyherman4735]

I just want Meatball to put in an audition tape too !!

[@thequeentreasurerose]

Rumor has it she did and made it on. An updated list will come after drag con

[@niaobviously]

I truly think that Lana should take another year or two to refine her drag more. She’s serving already but I’d take just another year to be a fully realized queen! So much love to her 🤍

[@almazsubliminals]

I couldn’t agree more, maybe even 4 more years

[@CarysCantDance]

I keep hoping I’ll see Laveau Contraire in one of these lists. She’s an incredible, hard working performer with some great looks. She’s from New Orleans & featured in the Queer As Folk reboot. She’s also super sweet. I’d love to see her on Drag Race.

[@mickyx5]

I'm just glad that I got to see Mera on this list! 🤞🤞🤞

[@jaydent1320]

If mera is on it she would need to record loads and loads of videos to make sure no one thinks she's in it or it's obvious

[@timothybuckles6331]

Its already been obvious. Her show has not been on in a bit. She keeps getting asked. I seriously hope she is on.

[@DrewRueDoo]

So happy to see a ton of Ft. Lauderdale & Miami queens here!

[@wizirbyman]

janelle is also previously from the house of aja but i think she's now a member of kandy muse's doll house :)

[@thedallasryan]

Mera said recently that she won’t be at Drag Con this year. Maybe she’ll be too busy getting ready for season 16. 👀

[@jaydent1320]

Or not got the money to go

[@fzz6333]

When will S16 start filming?

[@thedallasryan]

@@fzz6333 they usually start filming in late May/early June. The queens are also been about a month to prepare so it’s theoretically possible that the season has already been casted and the queens are currently getting ready to go film.

[@hoyerhull6266]

Mera mangle?? Bambi banks coulee?? Now we need bussy queen 🤧

[@DeVill3007]

YES.YES.YES. Bussy already has stated she probably won't.... 😢

[@mikep.4372]

I know most of these ladies and as a designer who indeed has done SOME work for ru girls , this list is amazing, IF it’s accurate:) good luck ladies !

[@idkyet6972]

Juicy Love Dion !!! And totally excited for Bambi Banks manifesting her

[@chriscwww9812]

AUNTY CHAAANNNNN!!!!!

[@jessicabw]

As a Florida girl, lover of Chicago queens and popular NYC queens, I hope this list is accurate!!!!

[@elisabethhathorn1656]

Would love to see Mera on season 16, but would miss her on KZbin while she was filming!!!

[@taylorbarnhart9882]

would be cool to have scarlet host panels w/ the recurring cast :)) they’ve joked abt the fans wanting a video without her before

[@TheAayize]

Please cast Aunty Chan

[@DerpFlour]

Girllll not all of these chicago girls getting shortlisted, I need Aunty Chan and Eva ASAP

[@newsnipecat8337]

been asking for Bambi Coulee for ages now same with Lagoona, third times the charm for Stephanie's child perhaps? also Lagoona if she didn't win the season being casted on all stars with Rose and or Jan would be such a treat, they r such sisters with each other. Mera would be awesome, she would at least imo slay snatch game and other comedy challenges, she also can sew, so real only thing I would be scared for her doing well would be a choreo challenge

[@Swiftwriter]

I want the queens on roscoes made it in rpdr 😩💅

[@celinadepp]

AHHHHHHHHH. Omfg Kahtya tension is going to fucking kill it! I’ve seen her perform many times at Hamburger Mary’s in Ft. Lauderdale. I had a feeling she was on the show cause she announced she’s taking a break from wig commissions at the end of this month!! She’s glamorous, funny, great outfits, great makeup, does her own hair, & can lip sync the house down. I’m going to see her again this weekend. So happy to see more South Florida representation on RPDR. 😊

This week Corlis Todd announced that her last night at Play Nashville (Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jorgeous, Aura Mayari) would be April 29th, with no reason or next destination given. Seems likely she's leaving due to season 16 given that last season began filming mid-May.

[@dragraceenthusiast7564]

I am skeptical. You are not suppose to share this information because queens can get removed from the season if there is leaks they got casted or the final call.

It’d be a crime for them to cast Chan without Alexis & Darby on the same season. They always like connected storylines and that would make one hell of a season. Not to mention, they know Bambi (not sure if they know Eva) & it would just be a good old’ Chicago girlie time

This would be the most diverse cast ever. Plus, quite a lot are from states that have anti-LGBTQ laws in, so it would be cool for their exposure too.

[@Pedro_Veste_Preto]

I think it's a little bit of a illusion of the fandom to believe Eva Young would send the video to Drag Race because although she is a successful drag queen, she is also successful in her main job! And it's a good main job that allows her to have a drag life! What is rare! I don't know if she would risk this because if she keeps in her regular way she can still have a big drag name but if she goes on drag race she turns into a public figure and her popularity will depend on her elimination placement! But that's just my opinion my speculation
