Netflix reveals Queer Eye’s season 2 premiere date, and it’s really soon
The Fab Five are coming back to Netflix for a second season of Queer Eye pretty soon. When we say soon, we mean this June!
Plan your Queer Eye premiere party right now, like right now. Go to Costco for all the tissues, and honestly all the wine, because you’re going to need it. Netflix announced Thursday that we’ll be seeing more men made over on the second season of Queer Eye come June 15.
We know. That’s a little over 20 days away, and we’re not sure if we can contain our excitement that long!
It seems only yesterday the reboot for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hit Netflix — and that’s probably because it literally premiered its first season in February. The fact we’re getting a second season so soon makes our day, month, honestly our year.
Rotten Tomatoes currently gives the show a 96% rating, and for good reason. Part of what makes the show so enjoyable is the revamped Fab Five, an eclectic group who offer expertise in specific fields: Antoni Porowski (food and wine), Tan France (fashion), Karamo Brown (culture), Bobby Berk (design), and Jonathan Van Ness (grooming expert).
Truly though, the men who get made over each episode have given us a reason to believe there is good in the world. From sweet stories like Tom reuniting with the love of his life Abby (and the two actually getting married post-show) to multiple episodes showing the Fab Five breaking down stereotypes and cultural barriers — this reboot of Queer Eye has been applauded for being both entertaining and inspiring.
Queer Eye fans can expect to see even more of that inspirational content in the second season. Bobby Berk recently told Variety that we’ll see a lot more diversity this time around.
“A lot of people have been asking, ‘Why are you just working with straight guys?’ Or we did have one gay guy,” Berk says. “And I’m like, ‘Stay tuned for season 2. You’ll see a lot more diversity.'”
