Queer Eye alum Bobby Berk is set to star in his own HGTV series! The premise is very unique and the show is set to premiere in late 2025.
Most fans know Bobby as the Interior Design Expert of the Fab Five. He announced his departure from Queer Eye in November 2023 after eight seasons on the show and amidst rumors that a rift with cast mate Tan France was the cause of his departure. While he did admit to the argument, Bobby denied this was the reason he left the show.
Bobby Berk will star in HGTV’s Junk or Jackpot?
And that wasn’t the last of the tea we heard from him. Bobby also shared that he lost money doing the first two seasons of Queer Eye due to low salaries. And he even shared that an unnamed Real Housewife of New York stole from him back in the day.
Now though, it looks like Bobby is hitting his stride and HGTV might just be the perfect place for him. PEOPLE revealed that the new show is called Junk or Jackpot? and is slated for late 2025.
The interior design expert will be starring in the six-episode season where he is tasked with helping homeowners decide if they should part with their unique collections to raise funds to renovate their outdated homes. These fun collections include superhero figurines, rare puppets, and even antique dolls.
Bobby supports the homeowners as they sort through and appraise each unique collection in the hopes that he can give their homes that “dream makeover.”
“I’m excited to help passionate people sift through their cherished items and give them reimagined spaces to best honor what they hold dear,” Bobby said. He also said he was a big collector too so he can truly understand how collectors feel.
The show is produced by John Cena (yes, that John Cena!) who revealed the premise came from a conversation with friends. People often wonder if their collections are trash or treasure, and this show will help them figure that out.
Bobby has appeared on other shows on HGTV but usually as a guest. This is his first solo series on the network.
Queer Eye is streaming on Netflix.
