What Is 'Queer Eye' About?

"Queer" Eye is a reality TV show that has been on air since 2018 and is centered around the Five Fab, a group of glamorous and entertaining male personalities. The men set out to multiple cities, and cameras follow as they refine the lifestyle of lucky locals — from cultural pursuits to home décor.

'Queer Eye' Season 8 Location

Over the years, "Queer Eye" has been shot in multiple locations. The first two seasons were shot in Georgia, and the cast and production team filmed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for season five.

For the latest "Queer Eye" season, the Fab Five hit the streets of Texas. However, Fab Five member Bobby Berk joked that the cast would enjoy anywhere the temperature did not exceed 60 degrees should the show reach its eighth season. He added:

"We would love to go to the UK. We would love to go international. We would love to hit the Pacific Northwest. We haven't really filmed at all in the West. We've been in the South and the East for seven if you count Japan, eight seasons now. So yeah, we'd love to go out West."

Why Is 'Queer Eye' So Relevant Now?

Although "Queer Eye" has been around for years, the show's relevancy has especially hit home recently, given the evergrowing emergence of the LGBTQ+ community to the forefront of media and entertainment.

The diversity of the Fab Five resonates with many, and the representation the show delivers has become a significant part of the series' appeal as it tells the stories of all the people the cast helps.

"Queer Eye" has come a long way over the past seven seasons, and each member of the Fab Five has related to many by addressing queerness and opening up about their struggles to fit in in a society that did not accept them.
