Jeremiah Brent Joins Queer Eye’s New Fab Five!

The ninth season of Queer Eye, set in Las Vegas, is set to debut on December 11 on Netflix, featuring 10 new episodes. The streaming service has also shared a first glimpse of the new Fab Five, which now includes Jeremiah Brent as the interior design expert, taking over from Bobby Berk. Brent joins returning members Karamo Brown (culture expert), Antoni Porowski (food and wine expert), Tan France (style expert), and Jonathan Van Ness (grooming expert).

This season will spotlight various heroes, including a former showgirl working to regain her confidence and a committed librarian eager to change her life in Sin City. The promotional artwork features the Fab Five playfully posed on a slot machine.

Brent, who is well-known from HGTV and is married to fellow designer Nate Berkus, was introduced as the new member of the Fab Five in February, following Berk's announcement of his departure after eight seasons. Berk attributed his exit to a decision against renewing his contract, amidst rumors of drama on set, which were intensified by a Rolling Stone article.

In a conversation with House Beautiful, Brent dismissed any claims of drama, stating, "We’re having the time of our lives." He emphasized that the team is in a positive and healthy environment and expressed excitement for the upcoming season.

Brent also addressed a common joke among fans that Berk had handled most of the workload as the interior expert. He confidently remarked, "I love the stress. I love the pressure. And this is not my first rodeo. I know what I signed up for."
