Netflix is rebooting the groundbreaking makeover show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
According
to Entertainment Weekly, the streaming company is looking to find five
new hosts who will pass on some of their flair to their straight male
participants – this time with a focus on guys from the more conservative
states.
“In a time when America stands divided and the future seems uncertain, a team of five brave men will try to bring us closer together with laughter, heart, and just the right amount of moisturizer,” the show's producers said in statement.
“The Emmy Award-winning 'Queer Eye' is back and ready to Make America Fabulous Again. With a new Fab 5 and the show’s toughest missions to date, 'Queer Eye' moves from the Big Apple to turn the Red States pink — one makeover at a time."
"Queer Eye" originally aired on Bravo from 2003 to 2007.
The
hit reality show featured a group of five gay men based in New York
City, each with an expertise they'd focus on when making over a straight
male on each episode.
Celebrated
by gay viewers and gay media groups like GLAAD, "Queer Eye" also won an
Emmy and and spawned a spin-off, "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl."
Netflix has been ramping up its reality programming as part of its bid to double its number of original programs for another consecutive year.
Netflix's first competition show, the Sylvester Stallone-produced "Ultimate
Beastmaster," will feature 108 contestants from around the world who
tackle physically tough obstacle courses until only one person is left
standing.
It premieres on February 28.
