The first season of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy reboot taught us many things—namely how to elevate your drinking game from Mountain Dew margaritas to mojitos, and how to layer with short-sleeve button-up shirts. But the Fab Five aren't giving up their crusade to save men from themselves anytime soon. As Variety reported Monday, the gang is heading back to Netflix for an all-new second season.According to Billboard and Hollywood Reporter, eight new episodes of the critically acclaimed tear-jerker are expected to debut before the end of 2018. And although no release date has been announced, Queer Eye creator David Collins told IndieWire that he's been eyeing a different location for season two, hoping to bring the group out of Atlanta for a change of pace."I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio, born and raised," Collins said. "I would like to go to the tristate region, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, because you can base in Cincinnati and go across the bridge to Kentucky and go up the interstate to Indiana. The corn-fed midwestern folk are where I’m from—and I love actually being from Ohio, it's a great place to be from."With countless more beards to shave, man caves to declutter, and exes to reunite, the Fab Five—Bobby Berk (Design), Karamo Brown (Culture), Tan France (Fashion), Antoni Porowski (Food), and Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming)—will have their work cut out for them. And with such a quick turnaround schedule after being picked up for a new season just six weeks after the first debuted, it's probably a good idea to start getting a list of names together for new nominees."I'd just like to see us continuing to expand on the diversity of it. Helping different types of people from every walk of life, from every ethnicity, from every gender," designer Berk told IndieWire. "Just keep expanding on showing the world, and the differences in people that actually make them the same."Sign up for our newsletter to get the best of VICE delivered to your inbox daily.Follow Lauren Messman on Twitter.
