Bindi Irwin and Robert Irwin, the children of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin, will appear as judges in the Season 2 premiere.

"How could we not be involved in a show as fun and iconic as RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under?! We're big fans and were chuffed to help kick off the new season, especially after Art Simone's hilarious Snatch Game impersonation last year!" the siblings said. "We can't wait to see how all our Down Under kanga-rus go this season."

Lawless will serve as a guest judge in Season 2, Episode 2.

"I absolutely loved being part of the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under and can't believe I got to sit beside RuPaul, Michelle and Rhys!" the actress said. "Of course I know a thing or two about being a warrior princess but these new queens are absolutely next level. So fierce and so fabulous, I was in complete awe and am really looking forward to seeing how they all go!"

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under is hosted by RuPaul, who also serves as a judge with Michelle Visage and Rhys Nicholson. The series follows drag queen contestants as they compete in various challenges.

Season 2 will feature 10 new queens: Aubrey Haive, Beverly Kills, Faúx Fúr, Hannah Conda, Kween Kong, Minnie Cooper, Molly Poppinz, Pomara Fifth, Spankie Jackzon and Yuri Guaii.
