Meet the new Fab Five!
Back in 2003, the world was blessed with Bravo’s iconic makeover reality series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
The original series ran for five seasons and followed five queer men known as the Fab Five. The original Fab Five — Ted Allen (Food and Wine Connoisseur), Kyan Douglas (“Grooming Guru”), Thom Filicia (“Design Doctor”), Carson Kressley (“Fashion Savant”) and Jai Rodriguez (“Culture Vulture”) — lent their individual expertise to lucky subjects (usually straight men) in order to help them improve their lives.

Now, in some of the only good news to come out of 2017, Netflix has announced they’re rebooting the series (which will now just be known as Queer Eye) with a brand new Fab Five:

According to a Netflix press release, the new Fab Five will “forge relationships with men and women from a wide array of backgrounds and beliefs often contrary to their own, touching on everything from LGBTQ rights and social commentary to how to make the best farm-to-table guacamole and more!”
