Fans have also noted that the stage seems to be the same one used for the lipsync smackdown episode of season 16.
The excitement has spilled over onto X, with many fans also assuming that this is the interview set is the brand new main stage from season 17.
“Ru saw the way overseas set while filming Global All Stars and had to upgrade back home,” one fan joked.
Another added: “I remember after All Stars 7 the new stage (we have for current seasons) was shown during a interview with the producers so I’m pretty sure this is the new stage.”

While unconfirmed by Drag Race production company World of Wonder, the news was confirmed by journalist Gregory Ellwood, who posted about a “set visit” for the show.
“Is that the new main stage runway for [RuPaul’s Drag Race] season 17 and All Stars 10? It might just be!” he wrote alongside several snaps from the set of the Emmy-winning show.
Drag Race was recently renewed for its 17th flagship season and the tenth iteration of All Stars – so that main stage is sure to be put to good use.
