'RuPaul's Drag Race' queens who got to the finale multiple times

These are top-tier queens!

It's extremely hard for a contestant to get to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race, and even more so for that contestant to be a finalist multiple times.

In recent years, producers had been casting around 12-14 queens to compete in regular seasons of Drag Race and about 10-12 queens to compete on All Stars. In the Versus the World spinoffs, that number has been narrowed down to nine contestants. Going into 2023, however, we now have a cast of as many as 16 queens competing on Drag Race season 15 - making the odds even harder for contestants to get to the end and attempt to snatch the crown.

And yet, with the ever-growing opportunities for queens to come back onto Drag Race in one of the franchise's many spinoffs, there is now a select group of queens who have made it to the finale two times, three times, and even four times.

Scroll through to find out which contestants have made it to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race more than once.
