Several shows and movies boast of being feel-good. However, few of them are able to nail that kind of feeling completely and responsibly. ‘Queer Eye‘ is a show that might just be one of the most wholesome productions you would see. The reality series is a remake of a Bravo show, which was originally titled ‘Queer Eye For the Straight Guy.’ The reboot is a Netflix Original. 

‘Queer Eye’ can be defined as a “personal makeover show.” Each episode, a group of five makeover experts known as the “Fab Five” visit a person who is struggling in one or more areas of their life. The Fab Five help the person with their refreshing perspective, giving them not only a better way to look at things but also some much-needed self-confidence.

The Fab Five includes Antoni Porowski, who is a food and wine expert. Tan France, on the other hand, is a fashion expert who helps redesign participants’ wardrobe. Karamo Brown is a culture expert who shares some much-needed insight while Bobby Berk is a design expert. Lastly, Jonathan Van Ness is a grooming expert.

Queer Eye Filming Locations

Several viewers would have wondered where ‘Queer Eye’ is filmed. As mentioned earlier, the Netflix Original is a reality show, each episode of which revolves around a particular person who is struggling in one or more areas of their life and seeks some advice. Hence, the show is filmed where this participant stays. The Fab Five visits them and tries to solve their issues throughout the episode. Each season of the show is mostly set in a different location. This is obviously done for logistical reasons. Hence, every season, the Fab Five visits different people in the vicinity.

Season 6

The sixth installment of ‘Queer Eye’ is all set to bring the Fab Five’s rainbow positive vision to Austin, Texas. Have a look at the Instagram post below which shows the Fab Five at El Aroyo, a Mexican restaurant on 1624 W 5th St in Austin:

However, the first episode of the season has been set and filmed in Illinois. To be more specific, it is filmed in Quincy Town: the place where Jonathan Van Ness grew up.
