The second season of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race premiered August 12, 2022 on VH1. This season featured a major retool of the spin-off, with nine celebrity contestants — concealed by drag personas — competing in a season-length lip sync tournament. RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews returned as judges.
The season was won by Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean (as "Poppy Love"), with Tatyana Ali ("Chakra 7") and Mark Indelicato ("Thirsty von Trap") as runners-up, and Ali being voted as Miss Congeniality by the contestants.

Background
Unlike the first season, which featured self-contained competitions based on the format of the main series, season 2 of Secret Celebrity Drag Race featured a season-length lip-sync competition with celebrities concealed via drag personas (a la The Masked Singer), with the champion receiving $100,000 for a charity of their choice.[1][2] In each episode, the queens each gave a lip sync performance for the judges and a studio audience. The bottom two queens competed in a Lip Sync for Your Life for a chance to be saved from elimination; the eliminated queen would then reveal their true identity at the end of the show.[1][2] All remaining queens revealed their identity at the beginning of the sixth episode.[3]
Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jujubee and Monét X Change served as the "Queen Supremes", providing commentary for the series as well as assisting and mentoring the contestants. There were also special appearances by Eureka, Gottmik, Katya, Morgan McMichaels, Silky Nutmeg Ganache and Violet Chachki.[4]
