The third season of Canada's Drag Race premiered on July 14 and concluded on September 8, 2022.[1] The season airs on Crave in Canada, BBC Three in the United Kingdom and WOW Presents Plus internationally.[2]
Casting for the third season started late 2021[3] and the twelve contestants were announced on June 15, 2022.[4]
The winner of the third season of Canada’s Drag Race was Gisèle Lullaby, with Jada Shada Hudson as runner-up. Vivian Vanderpuss was named Miss Congeniality, although her win was announced by the producers on the show's social media channels rather than in the finale episode.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022, the broadcast of the finale was delayed in the United Kingdom during the period of national mourning.
