Tears, sass, and Yass: watch the new Queer Eye trailer

The Fab Five are back again, and this time they’re making over a woman

It’s here! The trailer for the second season of Queer Eye has dropped, and the Fab 5 have their first female client.

The group return to Georgia to help out Tammye, a teacher who battled and won against cancer, to help transform her and her church. A subject in the later episodes is Skyler, a transgender man.

Design aficionado Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown the culture expert, chef Antony Porowski, fashion boss Tan France, and grooming queen Jonathan Van Ness all feature in the clip. 

As the trailer shows, we’re in for another series steeped in tears, sass, and self-love. The show, a reboot of the 00s makeover show, has been striving to me more inclusive and diverse. As shown on the last season, it’s as much about dealing with difficult issues and trauma as it is about new looks and positive self-actualisation. 

“If camp discussions about face masks interwoven with dialogues about toxic masculinity are what it takes for us to start breaking down divisions, then I’m here for it,” Alim Kheraj wrote in his review of the reboot on Dazed.

This is the first season that will feature a woman and a transgender person as subjects. And much to the delight of fans, the fivesome made a recent trip to Yass for the show. 

The synopsis details that the Fab 5 will be “forging connections with communities from a wide array of backgrounds and beliefs often contrary to their own, touching on everything from self-love and faith, to immigration and how to make the perfect homemade poke bowls and more”.

Queer Eye season two will drop on Netflix June 15
