It’s Monsoon season in the Whoniverse! Award-winning actress and “Queen of All Queens” Jinkx Monsoon will have a major role in Season 14 of Doctor Who. Jinkx rose to fame on RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she took the crown on Season 5 and All Stars Season 7. In addition to her career as a drag queen, Jinkx is also an actor and singer, entering the world of Doctor Who fresh off a lauded run as Matron ‘Mama’ Morton in Chicago on Broadway.

Speaking about Jinkx, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies said, “In a galaxy of comets and supernovas, here comes the biggest star of all. Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the TARDIS, and Doctor Who will never be the same again!”

Jinkx is a Drag Race fan favorite known for her big heart, sharp wit, and for being a champion of outcasts of all stripes, making her a perfect addition to the Doctor Who family.
