The Queer Eye team is getting a new interior designer. Netflix has announced a replacement for Bobby Berk, who exited the makeover series after eight seasons. Berk announced his departure in November, with season eight airing in January.
Jeremiah Brent (above), the husband and frequent co-host of interior designer Nate Berkus, will join the makeover series with its upcoming ninth season. Brent joins Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski, and Tan France as the Fab Five transform lives in various parts of the country.
Production on Queer Eye season nine is set for later this spring. After two seasons in New Orleans, the five will be helping a new group of heroes in Las Vegas.
Netflix revealed more about the new addition in a press release.
If you have an eye for interior design, you’ve surely come across Jeremiah Brent’s work over the past decade. Based in New York City, Brent is the founder of his own full- service interior design firm, Jeremiah Brent Design, which launched in 2012 with locations in New York City and Los Angeles, as well as the lifestyle brand Atrio. With a finely honed intuition and sophisticated sensibility, Brent has worked his magic on countless properties across the world. But no matter the home, Brent begins each project by developing an in-depth familiarity with his clients’ emotional lives and personal journeys before personally installing each and every space — making him a natural fit for the Queer Eye family.
And family just so happens to be his driving source of inspiration. Brent is married to fellow interior designer Nate Berkus, with whom he shares two young children. The couple frequently collaborate on a host of high-profile projects, including the HGTV docuseries The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project. Brent has previously appeared in Netflix’s Say I Do, the Emmy-winning Home Made Simple, and The Rachel Zoe Project. He’s also the author of his recently released debut book The Space That Keeps You, an emotional design book that explores what gives spaces meaning.”
The premiere date for the ninth season of Queer Eye will be announced later.
What do you think? Have you kept up with this Netflix series? Are you happy about the addition of Brent to the Fab Five?
