The new “Queer Eye” hit Netflix earlier this year, introducing us to the new Fab Five: Antoni Porowski (Food & Wine), Bobby Berk (Interior Design), Karamo Brown (Culture), Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming) and Tan France (Fashion).
Here’s the official logline for the next batch of episodes: This season, the Queer Eye Fab Five return to the Georgia heartland, forging connections with communities from a wide array of backgrounds and beliefs often contrary to their own, touching on everything from self-love and faith, to immigration and how to make the perfect homemade poke bowls and more!
“These series are indicative of what we’re trying to accomplish for Netflix unscripted: working with world-class producers to create the best unscripted shows on television,” said Bela Bajaria, vice president of content for Netflix when the show was renewed, along with several other series, in March. “These series elevate the genre with innovative takes on familiar formats. They deliver immersive and nuanced stories. They elicit so many emotions from viewers, from tears of laughter to tears of joy – and that’s just Queer Eye.”
“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” creator David Collins executive produces the series under the Scout Productions banner, along with producing partners Michael Williams and Rob Eric. David Eilenberg, Adam Sher, Jennifer Lane and Jordana Hochman also executive produce for ITV Entertainment.

"Queer Eye" is back for a 2018 reboot on Netflix this week. But since it features an all new cast, audiences may find themselves pining for the original, Emmy-winning Fab 5: Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia and Jai Rodriguez. Here's what they've been up to since the original series ended back in 2007.

Ted Allen
Ted Allen was "Queer Eye's" food and wine expert, so it's no surprise that he's the host for the Food Network's popular show "Chopped." He's also a frequent contributor to "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," and has written two cookbooks.

Carson Kressley
Carson Kressley was "Queer Eye's" fashion expert, and he's continued to work in fashion with his line of clothing for QVC. He's hosted and judged several reality shows, including Lifetime's "How to Look Good Naked" and "RuPaul's Drag Race." He was also a contestant on Season 13 of "Dancing with the Stars."
