Netflix read your Antoni/Jonathan slashfic and has ordered Queer Eye season 3.
Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, and Bobby Berk have taken their talents to Kansas City, Missouri to assist eight more helpless men in becoming better human beings. Filming began on Monday the 16th of July 2018 and the new episodes are due to arrive on Netflix on Friday the 15th of March 2019.
One of the sweetest, most preposterously entertaining shows on television (or inside your computer), Queer Eye has made big cultural waves for Netflix since it debuted at the beginning of this year.
Queer Eye borrows its concept from the 2004 Bravo original, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, in which the ‘Fab 5’ – five gay men each with a particular cultural expertise – help straight men (and occasionally women, and other LGTBQ individuals) get their lives in order. That admittedly corny concept has led to truly poignant, entertaining television.
Queer Eye was nominated for four Emmy awards yesterday, including outstanding structured reality program. The show is executive produced by original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy creators David Collins, Michael Williams and Rob Eric for Scout Productions. Jennifer Lane serves as the showrunner and executive producer. David George, Adam Sher, David Eilenberg, and Jordana Hochman of ITV Entertainment are executive producers.
The first season of Queer Eye proved popular enough that Netflix quickly greenlit a second based on material already filmed around Georgia. 16 total episodes of the show have aired thus far. The wait for the eight-episode Queer Eye season 3 will be longer, due to the filming relocation and lack of available filmed material. That should mean more than enough time to get your ‘Antoni can’t cook’ memes ready.
More as we get it.
