It was announced on February 20, 2020 on the show's official Twitter account that the season would premiere on June 5, 2020 on Showtime.[3] Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would air on VH1 instead of Showtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments".[4]
The official trailer announced a change in the elimination rules: Unlike seasons 2, 3 and 4 of All Stars, each week a single challenge winner is named. The winning queen lip syncs for her legacy against a guest Lip Sync Assassin from a previous season. If the challenge winner wins the lip sync, she gains the power to eliminate one of the queens in the bottom and win a $10,000 prize. If the Assassin wins, the eliminated queen is determined after a majority vote by the rest of the contestants, and the $10,000 prize rolls over to further episodes until a contestant wins the lip sync.
The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars received a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.
This season is the first All Stars season since All Stars 1 to have an Untucked aftershow.
The winner of the fifth season of All-Stars was Shea Couleé, with Jujubee and Miz Cracker as runners-up.
