After seven years of makeovers and emotional stories, Queer Eye is officially heading toward its final bow on Netflix. The streaming giant will release season 10 on January 21, marking the end of one of its flagship unscripted shows. For this farewell run, the Fab Five are setting up shop in Washington, D.C., a deliberately symbolic backdrop for the last round of life-changing transformations.
The final season lands in Washington, D.C.
Since its 2018 debut, the rebooted Queer Eye has traveled across nine different U.S. states and even crossed borders to three other countries. For season 10, the series concentrates its efforts in the nation’s capital. The new episodes focus on residents of Washington, D.C., each selected for their personal journeys and desire for change, staying true to the core structure that has defined the show.
As in previous seasons, every chapter centers on one person’s story and a bespoke intervention from the Fab Five. The format blends outer transformation with deeper conversations about self-worth, relationships, and how each person fits into their community and environment.
The Fab Five return for one last round of makeovers
Season 10 brings back the current Fab Five lineup one final time:
- Tan France, overseeing fashion and style
- Karamo Brown, focusing on culture and lifestyle
- Jonathan Van Ness, handling grooming and personal care
- Antoni Porowski, guiding food and drinks
- Jeremiah Brent, redesigning interiors and home spaces
Together, they mentor a new group of participants with the same goal that has driven the reboot from the start: offering lasting tools and perspective rather than quick, surface-level fixes. That philosophy remains central in this closing season.
A defining unscripted show in Netflix’s history
A modern take on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy—which originally aired on Bravo from 2003 to 2007—Netflix’s Queer Eye quickly grew beyond the idea of a simple makeover series. It became Netflix’s longest-running unscripted title and carved out a place in Emmy Awards history.
Over the course of its run, the show has accumulated 37 nominations and 11 wins, including six consecutive victories in the “Outstanding Structured Reality Program” category. Its reach can also be measured through the more than 80 participants who have been featured since season 1.
A deliberate goodbye focused on legacy and impact
The announcement that season 10 would conclude the series came with messages of thanks from the team, emphasizing how meaningful the experience has been on both personal and collective levels. While the show is ending, its influence on LGBTQI+ representation and on contemporary reality TV formats continues to resonate.
This final chapter aims to celebrate everything Queer Eye has built, while offering a cohesive conclusion rooted in local, human stories. Viewers will be able to join the Fab Five for their last set of transformations when the remaining episodes hit Netflix on January 21.
