Bobby Berk is addressing controversy that arose after he announced his new show with HGTV just a day after Netflix revealed Queer Eye will end with season 10.

A former member of the streamer’s rebooted series, Berk served as the Fab Five’s design expert through season one to eight, before he departed from the show ahead of its ninth installment. He will now star in the new series Junk or Jackpot? via HGTV, though the announcement notably came on July 10, a day after Netflix announced Queer Eye is set to conclude after its forthcoming 10th season.

“I have to say, I swear on my mother’s life, my show announcement date was set,” he told People when asked about the timing. “No, this was planned. Show announcements don’t happen on a whim.”

One of his former Queer Eye co-star’s even reached out in the wake of the reveal.

As Bobby Berk enters the next phase of his onscreen design career, he wishes no shade to the Fab Five.

The Queer Eye alum, who exited the series back in 2023, recently clarified that he did not intend to announce his new HGTV series the day after Deadline reported that Netflix is renewing the reboot of the LGBTQ makeover show for a 10th and final season.

“I have to say, I swear on my mother’s life, my show announcement date was set,” Berk told People. “No, this was planned. Show announcements don’t happen on a whim.”

Last month, HGTV greenlit Junk or Jackpot? from Berk and John Cena, following collectors as they discover the true monetary value of their massive and unusual collections. Berk will help homeowners decide whether to sell some of their items to pay for a much-needed home renovation .

“Even Karamo [Brown] was like, ‘Girl, the day after?...

Interior designer Bobby Berk was one of the original five hosts of Netflix’s reality show “Queer Eye” — aka the Fab Five — but left after the Season 8 in 2023 and is now set to host his own HGTV show. There was some awkward timing earlier this summer with Berk’s HGTV announcement and the news that “Queer Eye” would be ending after the upcoming Season 10.

Netflix announced on July 9 that “Queer Eye” will end after the 10th and final season, and the next day on July 10 HGTV revealed Berk would be hosting a new show, titled “Junk or Jackpot?” Berk addressed the backlash over his announcement with People and revealed that his former “Queer Eye” co-host Karamo Brown called him out over it.

“I have to say, I swear on my mother’s life, my show announcement date was set. No, this was planned. Show announcements don’t happen on a whim,...

Bobby Berk swears it was just a coincidence that he announced his upcoming HGTV show one day after Netflix announced that Queer Eye was ending. The home design expert admitted to People in a new interview that he caught flak for the timing, considering Queer Eye is the show that made Berk a household name. Netflix revealed on July 9 that Queer Eye would end after its forthcoming 10th season; Berk revealed on July 10 that he’d host a show tentatively titled Junk or Jackpot? on HGTV. “I have to say, I swear on my mother’s life, my show announcement date was set,” Berk told People. “No, this was planned.

Bobby Berk says his Queer Eye costar called him out over his new HGTV show.

Bobby announced his new HGTV show Junk or Jackpot? the day after it was announced that Queer Eye would be ending. According to Bobby, the timing of the announcement was a complete coincidence, but that didn’t stop Karamo Brown from calling him out for the timing.

While speaking to People, Bobby says that Karamo wasn’t happy with his announcement.

Queer Eye has enjoyed immense popularity, having aired on Netflix since 2018 (although it first aired as a Bravo original in 2003). Netflix's original cast members included Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, and Tan France. In 2023, after Season 8, Berk announced his decision to leave the show, and interior designer Jeremiah Brent replaced him.

Now, the Netflix reboot has come to an end after ten seasons, and fans have reacted to the news with great sadness. Netflix created a post on Instagram, revealing that Season 10 will be the last.

HGTV is shaking up its renovation roster, ordering the six-episode series “Junk or Jackpot?” with designer Bobby Berk and wrestler-turned-entrepreneur John Cena attached as executive producer, while longtime staple “Rehab Addict” steps aside until autumn at host Nicole Curtis’s request.

“Junk or Jackpot?”—slated for a late-2025 debut—follows collectors whose sprawling stashes of superhero figurines, rare puppets and other memorabilia are appraised and, if they agree, partially sold to finance overdue home makeovers. Berk says the format helps “passionate people sift through their cherished items and give them re-imagined spaces that will best honor what they hold dear.” Cena adds that the idea grew out of wondering whether prized collections are “trash or treasure.”

The designer’s pivot comes after his exit from Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” which, according to People, will wrap with its tenth season next year.

Queer Eye season 10 will be the final season for the hit Netflix show. Queer Eye is a reality makeover series where five LGBTQ+ experts, known as the Fab Five, transform participants' lives through fashion, grooming, culture, design, and food. Originally a 2003 show, the 2018 Netflix reboot stars Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Jonathan Van Ness, bringing emotional and physical makeovers to diverse individuals.

Spanning nine seasons from 2018 to 2024, Queer Eye has filmed in cities like Atlanta, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. The show emphasizes empathy, self-love, and inclusion. Bobby left after season 8, with Jeremiah Brent joining in season 9. The series won multiple Emmys and remains culturally influential for its heartwarming, affirming transformations.

Sadly, Netflix has decided not to renew Queer Eye after its 10th season.

Netflix shared the shocking news on X, with a picture of the Queer Eye cast captioned, “10 seasons. Fab Five. One last go ‘round.

All great things have to come to an end, and that’s the case for Netflix’s first reality series. Queer Eye is wrapping things up, with the upcoming 10th season confirmed as the last.

Deadline announced the devastating news for fans. The Fab Five will give their last lot of fashion advice in Washington D.C., and it seems fitting to end the series in the nation’s capital. Of course, this doesn’t mean it has to be the end forever. Many of you will remember the name Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which was the first iteration of this program.

All good things must come to an end. As first reported by Deadline, Queer Eye will conclude its run on Netflix after Season 10. The rebooted edition of the original Bravo series debuted in 2018. By the time the series concludes with its final season in Washington, D.C., Queer Eye would have tallied nearly 90 episodes.

Netflix officially shared the news on social media with a post of the Fab Five in the nation's capital with the caption: "10 seasons. Fab Five. One last go ‘round.

The end of an era is coming for fans of Queer Eye on Netflix. While there are more episodes of the series coming, they will be the last made for the streaming platform.

Per Deadline, Netflix has quietly renewed Queer Eye for a tenth season, which will also serve as the final season of the show. This will put the series at around 90 episodes in total for its run. Queer Eye serves as the longest-running unscripted series on Netflix, having long served as a beloved offering for many subscribers. As of now, the company has not yet made an official announcement about the news.

Queer Eye has been a major success, but like any series, it can't go on forever. During its run, the show has drawn 37 Emmy nominations. Between 2018 and 2023, it picked up six consecutive wins for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. Consistently, the series has drawn high reviews, garnering...

After seven years, it's the end of an era for the beloved Netflix reality series Queer Eye, as word came down today that the upcoming Season 10 will be its final hurrah.

The news was broken by Netflix today after a post on social media (seen below) revealed that Season 10 of Queer Eye is heading into production. Attached was a photo of the group known as the Fab Five, which include not only Brent, but Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, and Tan France as well. "10 Seasons. Fab Five.

To date, Jeff Probst (Survivor), Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), and RuPaul Charles (RuPaul's Drag Race) are the only people to win the Best Reality Host Emmy at least twice in a row. But a fourth contender could soon be joining their esteemed list.

Alan Cumming (The Traitors) is the clear frontrunner in Gold Derby's predictions to claim his second consecutive host trophy. He also won as a producer last year when The Traitors prevailed for Best Competition Program. Cumming plays a heightened version of himself on Peacock's reality TV show, someone who oozes camp and gets excited every time a murder takes place inside his luxurious Scottish castle. Could The Traitors exist in a world without Cumming? Yes. But it wouldn't be nearly as fun. In addition to his two Emmys, the performer is also a double Tony winner for Cabaret and A Strange Loop.

Rock the Block returned with its sixth season on Monday, April 14, but there’s already online discourse about whether the right team won the first round. Bobby Berk was the guest celebrity judge in the premiere and had to evaluate the teams’ living areas, dining rooms, and kitchens. This season, two rookie teams (Chelsea DeBoer/Cole DeBoer and Kamohai Kalama/Tristyn Kalama) are competing against two veteran teams (Alison Victoria/Michel Smith Boyd and Jonathan Knight/Jordan Knight). They’re tasked with renovating identical properties with the same budget. For the first time ever, there was blind judging, meaning Berk didn’t know whose home he was looking at when he did his walk throughs. In the end, Berk chose Victoria and Boyd as the winners of the challenge, which means they’ll get an extra $3,000 in the next portion of the competition. As fellow veterans, the Knights will get $1,500 toward their next renovation.

HGTV’s hit renovation showdown, Rock the Block, is back for its sixth installment — bigger, bolder, and with a few surprises that are already shaking things up. The new season premiered just yesterday on April 14, 2025, and it brings along not just returning fan favorites but a highly anticipated debut from none other than Queer Eye alum Bobby Berk.

The host Ty Pennington is helming the competition this season just outside Salt Lake City, Utah, where four design teams will now be battling it out with $250,000 budgets and six weeks to completely transform identical modern homes. But this time, the properties come with the largest backyards in Rock the Block history, and so, fans can expect some next-level outdoor design renovations. Not just that, though — for the first time in the show’s history, Rock the Block has also introduced blind judging, and that’ll ensure that each team’s designs are evaluated without bias.

Bobby Berk is officially a member of the HGTV family as the celebrity judge on Season 6 of Rock the Block, and it seems like this is just the very beginning of his time with the network. Ahead of the Rock the Block premiere on Monday, April 14, HGTV shared a video clip of Berk on set, and the designer popped into the comments section to tease his future plans. “Yay!! Where it all started! Can’t wait for this season and for what’s to come with me and HGTV,” he wrote. Berk is best known for his role as the interior design expert on Netflix’s Queer Eye. He confirmed his departure from the show in 2023 and announced that Season 8, which aired at the beginning of 2024, would be his last.

Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk Joins Cricket Comedy Strikers After Netflix Exit...

Antoni Porowski may not be as queer as you think he is.

On today’s “Just for Variety” podcast, he says he’s the “Wicked” movie but that was actually his introduction to the beloved “Wizard of Oz” origin story. “Full disclosure, I hadn’t seen the musical and I wasn’t really sure what it was about before,” Porowski says. “I check some gay boxes, but not all of them.”

“Wicked” or not, Porowski has spent the last seven years as one of Hollywood’s most visible out celebrities as a member of the fab five of the award-winning “Queer Eye?”

Now in its ninth season, Porowski is hoping for an even 10. However, he says things may have gotten a little stale along the way. “I’m not going to say that I became jaded over time, but it’s like when you do anything…I think I just wasn’t as grateful,...

Red Hill Creative is stepping up to bat with “Strikers,” a new cricket-centered comedy series starring “Queer Eye” personality Bobby Berk and creator-actor Dana Abraham. The six-episode, half-hour series is set to begin production in summer 2025.

The indie project follows Amar Farooqi (Abraham), a former MLB pitcher whose career-ending injury leads him back to his South Asian roots via the cricket field. When steel company heir Aj Joshi (Shaun Majumder) and his publicist niece Maya (Nazanin Mandi) recruit him to revitalize their struggling cricket team, the Steel City Strikers, Amar finds an unexpected second chance at sports glory, guided by his struggling but well-connected manager Mickey (Berk).

For Abraham, who serves as both star and co-creator alongside Berk, the project represents a personal journey. “Growing up as an immigrant in Canada, I leaned toward assimilation and lost touch with my South Asian roots,” Abraham says. “This project is an opportunity...

Over the years, Netflix has produced movies featuring A-list actors and TV shows that starred beloved celebrities. As impressive as that is, it could be argued that one of Netflix's reality shows is a bigger deal. Queer Eye arguably has been a much bigger deal because the revival of the original influential series has spread so much love into the world.

As most Netflix users know, the streaming service has produced many great reality shows. However, most of them haven't punched through into the pop culture the same way that Queer Eye has. After all, there is a reason why Jonathan Van Ness can charge a fortune for a haircut. The reason why Queer Eye is such a big deal is it puts so much love into the world. Despite that, one of Queer Eye's heroes revealed the disgusting attacks that came when the fab five gave them a makeover.

Throughout Netflix's history, the streaming service giant has hired A-list actors to headline films and produced TV shows featuring many celebrities. Despite how much those stars must have been paid, many users care much more about Netflix's reality shows. While there is some debate about which Netflix reality shows are the best, Queer Eye has been celebrated since the revival of the influential original series premiered.

As every Queer Eye fan knows, the show's stars have become so famous that Jonathan Van Ness can charge a fortune for a haircut. However, that doesn't mean that Queer Eye's fans have always been happy with the show's cast. For example, Karamo Brown once suffered a backlash from some fans for one of his political opinions.

Over the last several years, Netflix has become a destination for most reality show fans. The reason for that is, on top of producing films featuring A-listers and TV shows starring celebrities, Netflix has a slew of beloved reality shows. Even though they have some serious competition, Queer Eye is widely regarded as the best Netflix reality show because the revival of the influential original series is extremely popular.

The biggest factor in Queer Eye's success is that the show's fans love the cast so much they will pay a fortune for a Jonathan Van Ness haircut. Many of those passionate and loyal Queer Eye fans would be sad to know that Karamo Brown and Antoni Porowski once had an "extreme conflict".
