“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2” has announced its celebrity guest judges.

NewNowNext reports Ross Mathews, Aubrey Plaza, Graham Norton, Jeremy Scott, Nicole Scherzinger and Raven-Symone will be among the celebrities judging the returning queens.

They will be joined by permanent judges Todrick Hall, Carson Kressley, Michelle Visage and, of course, RuPaul himself.

As previously reported, the new season will include new rules where the top two queens will have to “lip-synch for their legacy” instead of their lives. Whoever wins the battle will have the power to eliminate another queen.

The second “All Stars” season premieres Thursday, Aug. 25 on LOGO and VH1.
