The fierce five are back! In
Season Four, our fave fearless
ambassadors of taste –
Antoni Porowski (food and
wine), Bobby Berk (interior
design), Jonathan Van Ness
(grooming), Karamo Brown
(culture) and Tan France
(fashion) – return to Kansas
City to bring their infectious
brand of self-love, confidence
and encouragement to a
whole new roster of “heroes”,
aka men and women in major
need of a makeover!

THE PAST IS IN THE PAST
This time around, the focus is
on how people’s pasts aren’t
solely responsible for defining
them. There’s a beloved
teacher who gets rid of a
hairdo she’s had for 30 years,
an army veteran who learns

to let his kids sleep in another
room without fearing for their
safety and an older man who
musters up the courage to
clear out his parents’
belongings from their house
15 years after they died.
Yep, it’s uplifting and
awesome and totally has
us tearing up every time
the lads reinvent lives!

CELEBRITY APPEAL
“I think our world right
now is like one of our
‘heroes’ – stuck in a rut of
sadness and violence and
all sorts of messed-up stuff,”
Jonathan says of why the
show’s managed to suck
in so many fans – including
A-listers Chrissy Teigen,
Reese Witherspoon, Drew
Barrymore and Justin

Theroux. “People are looking
for something that feels
authentic, but working
toward something,” JVN adds.
Gushes Karamo, “I mean,
these are people that I’ve
looked up to forever, celebrities
that are now like, ‘I’m a fan of
yours.’ And so I just literally,
every day, start to weep and
cry because I’m like, ‘These
celebrities love me!’”
And they totally deserve
every accolade flung their
way! In fact, we’d say the only
downside to this show is that
it’s too easy to binge in one
sitting – leaving us hanging
out for the next series!
But now Season Five’s
already gone into production,
we won’t have long to wait...
Queer Eye Season Four launches
globally Friday July 19 on Netflix
