It’s official (and not very surprising, but still!): Netflix has picked up Queer Eye for a sixth season. The Emmy-winning series has already begun production deep in the heart of Texas, where the Fab Five will bring some much-needed TLC to a handful of lucky locals in the Live Music Capital of the world: Austin. It’s particularly good news for ATX, which was recently dealt a heavy blow with the cancellation of SXSW. Thankfully a little sunshine has arrived in the Lone Star state, courtesy of our favorite lifestyle experts: Tan France (fashion), Antoni Porowski (food and wine), Bobby Berk (interior design), Jonathan Van Ness, aka JVN (grooming), and Karamo Brown (culture).
Though Netflix has yet to set a premiere date for Queer Eye’s sixth season, the streamer has announced a summer 2020 launch for the fifth season. The Fab Five took a trip to Philadelphia for the fifth installment of the reality series, which was filmed in 2019. The makeover team has kept incredibly busy since Netflix revived the beloved series in 2018—hard to believe they’re already on season 5! Netflix announced the official season 6 order via a press release with photos of the gorgeous gang posing in front of the famous El Arroyo sign in Austin; the restaurant is known for its clever signage and the staff created some cute phrases for each of the Fab Five:

seriously what the actual fuck is the point of antoni he’s not gay and he can’t cook get him outta here
He’s pretty?
What? Have you not seen this show?
As someone who’s also barely qualified for their job and is just one textbook chapter ahead of the class they’re teaching, I find him to be the most relatable.
That sign might be cute, but that place serves up plates of hot trash under the guise of “tex mex”
Huh. We saw some poorly made flyers hung up around town a few months ago. People were wondering if it was a legit casting call. Guess it was.
Season 6, already?Are these poor guys filming in Texas because of their nonexistent labor laws?
This show, including its first iteration, is strange in that it’s very difficult to make fresh after the first season. It gets to be very repetitive, even though the makeoverees have different situations. Many fall into either the category of “too busy/unaware/generous for self care” or “need to change for wedding/proposal/new job/reconnecting with X”. Small variations, but basically the same. Like most HGTV-type shows.
This Old House has been running for 40 seasons now. The only thing that’s changed are some of the hosts.
I should clarify: there really is something about this show that’s maybe fun when you first start it, but becomes boring quickly. There are many shows that have one schtick but somehow successfully stay interesting. There’s something about this show that makes me lose interest fast. Maybe it’s the run time? A 23-minute version of this might actually be an improvement.
Netflix must be kicking themselves realizing they could’ve just shot one episode.
Points for not adding the unnecessary “assless” modifier to “chaps.”
Please, make it stop.
