Netflix to Premiere Second Seasons of
Queer Eye and More Unscripted Originals
Netflix
announced second seasons for several unscripted original series:
Dope, Drug Lords, Nailed It!, Queer
Eye and The Toys That Made Us.
“These series are indicative of what we're trying to accomplish
for Netflix unscripted: working with world-class producers to
create the best unscripted shows on television,” said Bela Bajaria,
Vice President of Content for Netflix. “These series elevate
the genre with innovative takes on familiar formats. They deliver
immersive and nuanced stories. They elicit so many emotions
from viewers, from tears of laughter to tears of joy - and that’s
just Queer Eye.”
