We all remember the iconic Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and now Netflix is bringing a fresh group of five queer men to inject a bit of colour into the lives of some Americans in need.

Yep, they're about to make America fab again.
The first official trailer was released this week giving us a bit of a glimpse at the new team as they touch down in and around Atlanta, Georgia.
You'll notice they ditched the "for the Straight Guy" bit of the title, with the series now simply going by Queer Eye. The show is also broadening out its lense, with the fab five making over a wide spectrum of people from Trump supporters to a closeted leather daddy.  

You also may have noticed gone are the days of Carson, Kyan, Ted, Thom and Jai, with an all-new crew taking up the helm. 

The new cast features Tan France on wardrobe, Karamo Brown on "cultural conversations", Antoni Porowski with food and drinks, Bobby Berk doing interiors and Jonathan Van Ness on grooming.

You might recognise Van Ness' name if you're a fan of Game of Thrones or his wildly brilliant recap show, 

Queer Eye is set to launch on Netflix with all eight episodes available on February 7.
