Netflix Is Rebooting 'Queer Eye' and the New Guys Are Fabulous

Long before queer became the go-to descriptor for millennial dating app profiles, there were the five fabulous men of the Emmy-award winning series, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Now, like Britney Spears’ career, the show is making a comeback.

Netflix has announced today that Queer Eye is back and packing up for a move from New York to Atlanta, Georgia. As the new Fab Five navigate a new world and new community, they’ll “forge relationships with men and women from a wide array of backgrounds and beliefs often contrary to their own, touching on everything from LGBTQ rights and social commentary to how to make the best farm-to-table guacamole and more,” a press release notes.

Replacing the original Fab Five crew of Ted, Kyan, Jai, Carson, and Thom, the Queer Eye’s new Fab Five are a diverse group of fabulous experts on everything from grooming and fashion to food and wine. As we wait impatiently for the new season to hit the streaming service in February, whet your appetite with a bit of information about the new crew.

Antoni Porowski, Food & Wine

This connoisseur has served as the personal chef for original Queer Eye star Ted Allen, but he’s ready to take the apron and serve up a new selection of dishes on the reboot. The self-taught chef graduated with a degree in psychology that helped him hone his underlying philosophy that food should tell a story because the heart and stomach are interconnected. We’ll drink to that!
