The fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars was announced by VH1 on August 19, 2019.
On February 20, 2020, the show's official Twitter account announced the season premiere date of June 5, 2020, on Showtime. Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would instead air on VH1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments".
The official trailer announced a change in the elimination rules: Unlike seasons 2, 3, and 4 of All Stars, only a single challenge winner is named each week. The winning queen then 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. All Stars 5 was the first All Stars season since All Stars 1 to have an Untucked aftershow. Shea Couleé was declared the winner, with Jujubee and Miz Cracker named runners up.
