'Queer Eye' to Film New Series in Japan
Netflix announced Wednesday that its popular makeover series "Queer Eye" is headed to Japan for a new series.
According to a press release, the Fab 5, Antoni Porowski (Food & Wine), Bobby Berk (Interior Design), Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming), Karamo Brown (Culture), and Tan France (Fashion, "will bring their expertise to Tokyo, working with local tastemakers to make-better a new group of heroes, while they learn and experience Japanese cuisine, fashion, design, grooming and culture firsthand" for a new show called "Queer Eye: We're in Japan!"
The release adds the Fab Five will also "forge relationships with four Japanese men and women from different backgrounds and cultures who were selected from a wide group of applicants and nominations."
"In just a year since we launched season one, Queer Eye has become a global phenomenon once again and the Fab Five are truly the ambassadors of self-care and compassion that the world needs now more than ever," "Queer Eye" creator and executive producer David Collins said. "Filming in Japan is a wonderful opportunity for us to work with four deserving heroes that will help showcase the incredible traditions and customs of their country."
Netflix says "Queer Eye: We're in Japan!" will drop in 2019 preceded by the third season of "Queer Eye," which takes place in Kansas City, Missouri.
