Fans devastated as popular Netflix show cancelled after 7 years

After seven heartfelt years, fans were shocked to learn that the beloved makeover series is coming to an end.

A hugely popular Netflix show is ending after seven years - leaving fans devastated.

Queer Eye, which is the streaming platform’s longest-running unscripted series, will not be coming back for another season after season 10.

It’s an unexpected end for the show, with Netflix confirming the news today.

The hit show, which came out seven years ago, will leave a massive gap on the streamer.

“10 seasons. Fab Five. One last go ‘round. The final season of Queer Eye is officially in production,” Netflix shared on X.

Reacting to the news, one person wrote: “The end of an era.”

“Can’t believe we’re saying goodbye. Thank you, Fab Five, for changing lives — and hearts,” said another.

“This is not fair! Why is this the final season?!” asked a third.

“I feel robbed, I deserved 10 more seasons of Jeremiah. You just cant give him to us and take him away this quick,” said another.

A fifth added: “2025 is the final season for a ton of things, and my little heart isn’t ready.”

A sixth said: “The tenth season of Queer Eye will be the last. That sound you hear breaking is my heart.”

The hit show catapulted onto the platform back in February 2018.

Across its ten seasons, over 90 episodes have been uploaded to the streaming platform for fans to enjoy.

Queer Eye centres around the Fab Five, who are experts in various fields.

The Fab Five comprises of relationship expert Karamo Brown, fashion expert Tan France, food and wine expert Antoni Porowski and hair and makeup expert Jonathan Van Ness.

In the first eight seasons, the show’s resident interior design expert was Bobby Berk, but he was replaced last season.

Bobby was replaced by Jeremiah Brent for season nine, and now the show’s final season, 10.

Bobby’s exit came after he was rumoured to have had a huge falling-out with Tan France on the show.

He was rumoured to have quit or been axed from the hit Netflix program in November 2023.

In January, Bobby - who departed Queer Eye in November 2023 - made some admissions to Vanity Fair about his feud with co-star Tan.

While speaking with the magazine, the Queer Eye star opened up about his relationship with the fashion expert.

“Tan and I had a moment,” the Netflix star said.

“There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show.”

“It was something personal that had been brewing — and nothing romantic, just to clarify that,” he added.

“Should I have unfollowed Tan? No,” Bobby continued.

“Maybe I should have just muted him. But that day, I was angry, and that’s the end of it.

“We became like siblings — and siblings are always going to fight.

“There were definitely emotions. But each one of us had our reasons why we did what we did,” he concluded.

USA TODAY also reports that fan favorite Van Ness, the Fab Five’s bubbly hair stylist (or grooming specialist, formally), was also alleged to have created a toxic work environment.

In a Rolling Stone article, several production sources on the show accused Van Ness of emotionally “abusive” behind-the-scenes behavior.

Van Ness denied the claims.
