Netflix is set to reboot Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, an Emmy Award-winning makeover series that originally aired on Bravo in 2003, and which served as a groundbreaking moment for the LGBTQ community on television.
The show will not feature any of Queer Eye’s five original cast members — known as the ‘Fab Five’ — and has been reimagined for today’s unique political climate, “a time when America stands divided and the future seems uncertain,” producers told Entertainment Weekly in a statement. “With a new Fab Five 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.”
While Netflix is currently casting a new Fab Five, EW
reports that the show’s original fleet of gay fashion gurus — who provided makeovers to clueless straight men in the series’ original iteration — will be involved in some capacity. Eight episodes have been ordered from David Collins (Scout Productions), the creator of the original series. Executive producers will include Michael Wiliams, Rob Eric, and David Eilenberg (ITV Entertainment).This isn’t Netflix’s only foray into the reality space. The company is set to release a second season of the hit Cameron Dallas docuseries Chasing Cameron, and will premiere an obstacle course show titled The Ultimate Beastmaster, its first unscripted competition series, next month.
