Netflix is heading to Japan to produce four special episodes of Queer Eye for premiere later this year following the series’ Season 3 premiere.
Queer Eye: We’re In Japan! will feature food and wine specialist Antoni Porowski, interior designer Bobby Berk, grooming consultant Jonathan Van Ness, fashion designer Tan France and culture expert Karamo Brown (aka the Fab Five) in Tokyo working with local tastemakers, while they learn and experience Japanese cuisine, fashion, design, grooming and culture firsthand.
In the special installment, the Fab Five will forge relationships with four Japanese men and women from different backgrounds and cultures who were selected from a wide group of applicants and nominations. During the production, Netflix also will invite a fan to meet the Fab Five.
“In just a year since we launched season one, Queer Eye has become a global phenomenon once again and the Fab Five are truly the ambassadors of self-care and compassion that the world needs now more than ever,” said David Collins, creator and executive Producer of Queer Eye. “Filming in Japan is a wonderful opportunity for us to work with four deserving heroes that will help showcase the incredible traditions and customs of their country.”
