Trailer highlights on Queer Eye season 9

1. New team dynamic with Jeremiah Brent

Perhaps one of the most obvious changes in Queer Eye season 9 is the inclusion of Jeremiah Brent, taking up the place left by the previous interior designer, Bobby Berk.

As fans have seen in the trailer, Brent is bursting at the seams with energy and preparation for his new role, even being a part of a scene where he questions the co-hosts:

“Is this what it feels like every time?”

Jonathan Van Ness and Karamo Brown respond affirmatively, saying “Yeah” in unison, to which Brent replies:

“I love it so much.”

In an interview with House Beautiful in March, Brent expressed confidence in handling the pressures of the job, stating:

“I love the stress. I love the pressure. And this is not my first rodeo.”

He also mentioned having the “time of our lives” working with the cast, noting that there was “no drama” and that everyone’s “heads and hearts are in the right spot.”

Brent’s experience as a design professional adds to the established expertise of Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, and Karamo Brown, contributing to the team’s holistic approach in supporting their heroes.

2. Las Vegas as a unique backdrop for transformation

The new season provides a background setting in Las Vegas that has heavily centered upon themes of reinvention and resilience.

The trailer introduces a mix of different backgrounds such as a previous showgirl working to regain confidence and a librarian seeking new perspectives.

The Las Vegas setting, known for its dynamic culture and high-energy environment, complements the heroes’ journeys of self-discovery and change.

Brent, who has experience working on large-scale projects, commented that he is fully prepared for the challenge:

“I know what I signed up for.”

This setting allows the Fab Five to tailor transformations that resonate both with the individual heroes and the distinctive atmosphere of Las Vegas.

3. Emotional storytelling remains central

Season 9 continues Queer Eye’s tradition of emphasizing personal growth through each hero’s story. The trailer includes scenes in which Brent acknowledges the impact of the transformations:

“I feel like I'm finally home with the Fab Five.”

Brown added that Brent, previously known for his work on HGTV, affirming Brent’s capability and experience in the role:

“Girl, have you seen Jeremiah? She got the design skills, honey.”

The trailer suggests that each of the Fab Five’s skills—style, grooming, culture, food, and design—plays a role in guiding the heroes through life changes. Brent’s contributions extend the Fab Five’s tradition of helping participants gain confidence and build new perspectives.
