Queer Eye season 3 release date announced by Netflix

The 'Fab Five' are back and heading to Kansas

Queer Eye will return for its third season on 15 March, Netflix has announced.

The reality show sees the “Fab Five” – hosts Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness – makeover a different subject each episode, with the new series taking the team from Atlanta to Kansas City.

Netflix has said gang will “bring their infectious brand of self-love, confidence and encouragement to a whole new roster of heroes".

Queer Eye, a reboot of the mid-2000s TV series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, has proven hugely successful, the show winning two Primetime Emmys last year.

A four-episode mini-season filming in Japan has also been confirmed, though no release date has been announced.

The show is a significant property for the streaming service, which has been attempting to branch out into original reality programming.

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo debuted in January to a warm reception, and Dating Around, their new matchmaking show, will be released on Valentine’s day.
