Overview

  • Netflix said in July that Queer Eye will end with season 10, which is filming in Washington, D.C., with Jeremiah Brent continuing as the design expert.
  • HGTV announced Junk or Jackpot? the next day, a six-episode series executive produced by John Cena and slated to premiere in late 2025.
  • Berk told People the date for his show’s announcement was set beforehand, adding that show rollouts are not made on a whim.
  • He recounted that former costar Karamo Brown questioned the optics, quoting Brown as saying, “Girl, the day after?”
  • Berk said Netflix could have given him a heads-up about its news; he previously exited Queer Eye after eight seasons in 2023, with accounts of his departure remaining disputed.
