The Fab Five will return for one last round of life-affirming makeovers and transformations as Queer Eye is set to end after its upcoming 10th season.
Netflix confirmed the news Wednesday, July 9, revealing that the show’s final season would be set in Washington, D.C., and that production would begin today. A press release said the episodes would “celebrate the show’s legacy and impact, spotlighting heroes from the nation’s capital.”
All five members of the Season Nine will return, as well: Culture and lifestyle expert Karamo Brown, food and wine expert Antoni Porowski, grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness, fashion expert Tan France, and interior design expert Jeremiah Brent. A premiere date for Queer Eye Season 10 has yet to be announced.
Queer Eye premiered on Netflix in 2018, arriving just over a decade after the original Bravo series ended its run. Since then, the reboot has become the streaming platform’s longest-running unscripted series, and one of its most successful. The show has been nominated for 37 Emmy Awards, winning 11, including a record six consecutive victories for Outstanding Structured Reality Program.
Amid all that success, however, there was some tumult when original interior design expert Bobby Berk left the show in 2023. While the abrupt departure was initially depicted as amicable, Rolling Stone later reported that behind-the-scenes tensions may have contributed to Berk’s decision.
“Van Ness’ behavior allegedly contributed to the rift within the Fab Five, with two sources saying it led to certain members of the group — including Berk — reluctant to shoot scenes with Van Ness,” Rolling Stone’s Cheyenne Roundtree wrote after speaking to 10 Queer Eye production members and sources.
Van Ness responded to the allegations about his on-set behavior in June 2024. While he claimed the article was “overwhelmingly untrue and done in bad faith,” he did admit, “I know that there were times where I could have been better.”
