One of the biggest reality hits of the 2000s could be making a comeback, with Entertainment Weekly reporting Netflix is planning to reboot “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”.
According to EW, the series — in which five gay style experts with different specialties provide makeovers for badly dressed, style-challenged straight guys — is ripe for re-imagining during the uncertainty of the Trump administration.

“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,” reads a statement from the producers. “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.”
While EW reports that Netflix will be casting a new “Fab Five” for the reboot, there may be room for the show’s original cast — Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Jai Rodriguez and Thom Filicia — to be involved.
Netflix has reportedly ordered eight episodes of the new “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”.
