The Emmy-winning makeover series Queer Eye is going to be back for a fourth season on Netflix this July. The streaming platform has also renewed the show for a fifth season, which has been set for release in 2020.
As reported on Variety, Queer Eye season 4 will premiere on Friday, July 19, on Netflix. The Fab Five will be back in Kansas City and work with people with their makeover magic.
Queer Eye season 5, on the other hand, will start production in the third week of June. This time, the group will be heading to Philadelphia to help men and women find their style and taste, as well as discover their passions and goals in life.
Just last March, Queer Eye season 3 launched on the streaming platform to positive reviews. Since it first aired in 2018, Queer Eye has received praises and acknowledgments from Netflix subscribers.
A revival of the Bravo show that aired from 2003 to 2007, Queer Eyenot just gives fashion and hair makeovers for their nominated guests. They also coach the individuals on improving their job prospects, social life and relationships.
Queer Eye features the experts Antoni Porowski (Food & Wine), Bobby Berk (Interior Design), Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming), Karamo Brown (Culture), and Tan France (Fashion). The Netflix renewal comes as the group was featured in a new video with Taylor Swift, which supports LGBTQ advocacies.
"My favorite stories I'm getting [are] the ministers who will message me and come up to me in public and say, 'You know, my whole life, I was taught that being gay was a choice and it was wrong, and you're going to hell, and you were evil, and I have also taught that in my church and my congregation,'" Berk revealed in an interview with Los Angeles Times." And hearing you say on the Mama Tammye episode that you used to cry every Sunday and every single day, begging God not to make you gay, yet you're still gay, made me realize it wasn't a choice."
Berk said that it is reactions like this that make doing Queer Eye worth it. The show does away with hate and embraces acceptance, which resonates with younger people who are still exploring who they are.
Meanwhile, Queer Eye's impact is not just limited to the United States. The Fab Five also filmed a four-episode installment of Queer Eye: We're In Japan, which will also run on Netflix.
