After a successful reboot of the Queer Eye brand on Netflix earlier this year, we don't have to wait long for the arrival of Season 2 now scheduled to debut on the streaming service June 15.
The Fab 5 – Bobby Berk (interior design), Kamaro Brown (culture), Tan France (fashion), Antoni Porowski (food/wine), and Jonathan Van Ness (grooming) – will all be back to help America laugh, cry and just plain feel better.
A new cover story for Entertainment Weekly reveals 35-year-old Brit and fashion expert France, a Muslim who currently lives in Salt Lake City with his husband, almost didn't take the gig. “I hadn’t seen any people like me on TV before, and I definitely didn’t want to be the first one. I didn’t want that responsibility on my head.”
The fears eventually subsided, and, he says, “I couldn’t be more grateful.”
For the first time, season 2 will feature a transgender man on the make-better show.
Van Ness says, “One of my closest friends is a trans man who is incredible. And a lot of my clients are trans women. So I am really hoping that we can do right by our trans brothers and sisters. [Skyler] is going through so much, so [it was important to be] gentle and respectful and not to be a queenie know-it-all dum-dum when you’re trying to be a loving person.”
