'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' is getting a red state makeover for Netflix
Netflix is launching another reboot.
Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy will be reimagined in an eight-episode season, the streaming giant said Tuesday.
"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," Netflix said in the show's logline. "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 show -- which starred starred Ted Allen (now a Food Network host), Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Jai Rodriguez and Carson Kressley (now on Celebrity Apprentice) -- aired from 2003 to 2007.
Scout Productions’ David Collins, creator and executive producer of Queer Eye, along with executive producing partners Michael Williams and Rob Eric, are once again at the helm, in association with ITV Entertainment. David Eilenberg will executive produce for ITV Entertainment.
Production begins in spring.
