The Fabulous Five is making a comeback. Well, in spirit, at least. Netflix has brought back the Bravo show that took the new millennium on by storm with a whole new cast.
Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness & Tan France will step into the stylized, overpriced shoes of their predecessors as the new Fab 5. Just like with the originals, they each come with the specialized skills:
- Porowski: Food & Wine
- France: Fashion
- Van Ness: Grooming
- Berk: Interior Design
- Brown: Culture
That’s not all that’s changed! Instead of taking on New York, like in the original show, these guys are going to take on Atlanta! In other words, one is a little more country than rock-and-roll…
In addition, due to a lack of advertisements, the new Fab 5 have a bit more freedom in what they can recommend to viewers. Because let’s be honest, by helping one person each episode, they are saving mankind from itself by example!
According to NBC News, one of the new guys, France, explained why both shows should be viewed as something different from the original:
“With this being a legacy show, there’s a great importance on making sure we represent and fill the shoes of the original cast. However, we are so different, so it’s comparing apples and oranges.”
“We’re so diverse, we come from different walks of life, and we’re in the South, which is so different than where the show filmed last time. The one similarity though is that it’s super light-hearted, super fun and hopefully represents our community and shows a different side that I think most people don’t see.”
Can they join forces and save mankind from itself? Or at least poor taste? Watch for yourself during its Netflix premiere!
