Bobby Berk Exits 'Queer Eye' After Eight Seasons, Replaced by Jeremiah Brent

Berk cites contract completion and other commitments for his departure, as Netflix introduces Brent as the new design expert for Season 9.

Bobby Berk announced in late 2023 that Season 8 would be his final season on 'Queer Eye,' citing the end of his contract and prior commitments to other projects.
Berk revealed that he initially believed the entire cast would step away if the show was renewed, but his co-stars chose to continue with Netflix's offer.
Reports of tensions among the Fab Five surfaced, including allegations of disputes and competition, though Berk and Tan France have publicly addressed and begun reconciling their personal falling-out.
Jeremiah Brent, a well-known interior designer and TV personality, officially joins the cast for Season 9, describing the experience as a perfect fit and emphasizing the show's core message of connection.
Season 9 of 'Queer Eye,' featuring Brent's debut, premieres on Netflix on December 11, with the Fab Five continuing their transformative work in Las Vegas.
