Netflix Rebooting 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'
Time to make America fabulous again.
Netflix is rebooting the groundbreaking reality series "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy," reports Entertainment Weekly. The makeover series originally aired on Bravo from 2003 to 2007, and featured five New York gay experts in fashion, style, personal grooming, interior design and culture. They took the titular "straight guy" and revamped his wardrobe, home decor, food, and lifestyle.
Netflix said in a statement, "In a time when America stands divided and the future seems uncertain, a team of five brave men will try to bring us closer together with laughter, heart, and just the right amount of moisturizer. The Emmy Award-winning 'Queer Eye' is back and ready to Make America Fabulous Again. With a new Fab 5 and the show's toughest missions to date, 'Queer Eye' moves from the Big Apple to turn the Red States pink — one makeover at a time."
The original "Fab Five" — Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez — may have some involvement in the new series, but Netflix is looking to cast new "Queer Eyes."
The reboot will be the streaming service's first docu-reality series; its first reality competition show, "The Ultimate Beastmaster" premieres Feb. 24.
