Netflix is making a rom-com about Antoni from Queer Eye’s dating life

The story for the film, Girls & Boys, has been developed by Porowski and Black-ish writer Kenya Barris

The 2018 reboot of Queer Eye was huge for the new Fab Five, including Antoni Porowski. Since the first series aired, he’s starred in three more, published a cookbook, and channelled American Psycho in a Netflix thriller.

Now though, Antoni’s own life is going to be the subject of a Netflix film, titled Girls & Boys. At least, the rom-com will be loosely based on Porowski’s dating experiences, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The designated chef of Queer Eye has developed the film’s story with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, and Pen15’s Andrew Rhymer and Jeff Chan will write the screenplay.

A large part of the film will seemingly focus on Porowski’s sexual fluidity, which he’s talked about in previous interviews. “I don’t really know and I kind of like not knowing,” he said of his sexuality in a 2019 interview with GQ.

“I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it dishonours women that I've been in love with.”

Not much more information has been made available about Girls & Boys yet, and we’re still waiting on a release date.
