When Bobby Berk announced that he was leaving Queer Eye this year, fans were left distraught. Now, his latest social media post has viewers hoping for a “solo show,” with some saying it’s something they “need.”
With Tan France taking control of wardrobe, Jonathan Van Ness on hair and beauty, Antoni Porowski commanding the kitchen, Karamo Brown on culture and lifestyle, and Bobby on home renovation, Queer Eye‘s 2018 revival was covering all bases. The Netflix show has been renewed for eight seasons, two specials, and a Japan spin-off but times are now changing for the Fab Five.
