Tonally, the reboot goes deeper than the original and touches on religion, sexuality, depression, and racism, resulting in genuine emotional moments and connections that feel rare on reality television, and were invisible in the show's first version. In the new season, the men bring their talents to the state of Georgia to help eight Southern men improve their looks, their homes, and their lives. The former Fab Five previously consisted of Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez now the lineup is Tan France (fashion), Jonathan Van Ness (grooming), Bobby Berk (interior design), Karamo Brown (culture), and Antoni Porowski (food and wine). But Queer Eye is different in 2018: It has a new, shorter, name a new home on Netflix and a whole new group of experts. Due to a rise in the popularity of reboots ( Will & Grace, Twin Peaks, Miami Vice), it's only natural that the reality style series, which became a surprise success at the time, should return for a second round too.
A lot has changed in the cultural landscape of America since 2003, when Bravo debuted the television phenomenon known as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
