Bobby Berk Exits Queer Eye After Eight Seasons
Berk's departure not due to rumored feud with co-host Tan France, but a decision made after Netflix unexpectedly renewed the series for a ninth season.
- Bobby Berk, a co-host of the Netflix series Queer Eye, has confirmed that he will not be returning for the show's ninth season.
- Berk's departure was initially rumored to be due to a feud with co-host Tan France, but Berk has clarified that any issues between them were personal and had nothing to do with the show.
- The Queer Eye hosts had signed a seven-season contract with Netflix, which concluded in September 2022. In November 2023, Netflix renewed the series for an additional season due to the writers' and actors' strikes.
- Berk decided not to sign the new contract, believing that the show would not continue without all five original hosts. However, the other four hosts chose to sign on.
- Berk has stated that he had already made plans for his post-Queer Eye life and was not willing to change them to continue with the show.
