Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quickly became a surprise success, winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program in 2004, with subsequent merchandising, international franchising of the concept, and a woman-oriented spin-off, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. The series name was abbreviated to Queer Eye at the beginning of its third season to include making over individuals regardless of gender or sexual orientation.[2]
Queer Eye ended production in June 2006 and the final episode aired October 30, 2007.[3] During September 2008, the Fine Living Network briefly aired Queer Eye in syndication.[4] The series was also run again by the CBS-affiliated Twist network in 2023.
Netflix revived the series in 2018 with a new Fab Five.[5]
