When will season 6 of Queer Eye air?
Based on previous seasons, there’s usually a nine month gap between when production finishes filming and the show airing, which means the earliest we’ll be seeing Queer Eye season 6 is 2021.
Sadly, production was brought to a halt due to the coronavirus, as revealed by Bobby Berk in an interview withThe Oprah Magazine.
Berk stated, “We didn’t even get the first episode finished. The reveal had happened, our hero had seen the home. The only thing that hadn’t happened was our last scene where we get to watch what’s happened with them”.
Hopefully once the restrictions start to relax, the Fab Five will be able to continue filming. We imagine that the delay in production may impact the release date – though no predicted time had been announced anyway.
