The Austin season of Netflix's 'Queer Eye' to premiere on Dec. 31

After two years of anticipation, "Queer Eye" fans will be gifted with the Austin season premiere on Dec. 31.

Following a standstill in production in early 2020,  the sixth season of the Netflix reality series will be unveiled on New Year's Eve, according to star Bobby Berk on Twitter and other social announcements from the stars and network. 

News that the show – where home designer Berk, grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness, fashion stylist Tan France, foodie Antoni Porowski and self-help baron Karamo Brown improve the lives of folks nominated by friends and family – would film its newest season in Austin was confirmed in late 2019. 

The production was placed on halt in early 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. And while notable stars like Van Ness and Porowski stuck around in central Texas, it would be another year before casting for the show would resume

In the coming weeks, local viewers will finally get a look at the revamped lives of their fellow Austinites by the hands of the Fab Five. To catch the premiere, visit netflix.com.
