In 2017, he collaborated with Living Spaces, a furniture retail chain, for a show called Living Spaces Presents Behind the Design.
In 2020, Brent made his debut on Netflix’s Say I Do, a wedding-themed series akin to Queer Eye.
The show features three specialists: Brent, the designer, Thai Nguyen, the fashion expert, and Gabriele Betaccini, a chef and culinary specialist.
The series’ eight episodes follow the trio as they assist individuals in surprising their partners with a dream wedding in under a week.
Brent’s design prowess has been showcased on various television programs, including The Drew Barrymore Show, Good Morning America, Today, and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
When is Jeremiah Brent replacing Bobby Berk on Queer Eye?
Jeremiah Brent is scheduled to join the show’s original hosts, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Tan France, and Antoni Porowski, in the upcoming ninth season of Queer Eye.
The filming for the show’s ninth season is slated to commence in the spring of 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Brent will be a part of the team as they utilize their expertise in style, grooming, interior design, culture, and food and drink to assist a new group of individuals.
Although a premiere date has not been disclosed, the show is anticipated to air in late 2024 or early 2025.
Brent is replacing Bobby Berk, an original member of the Fab Five, who announced his departure from the show in November 2023 after starring in eight seasons of the reality TV makeover series.
Berk explained his decision in an Instagram post to the Queer Eye Community, expressing that while it was challenging, it was a necessary choice.
He shared additional insights into his departure in an interview with Vanity Fair in January 2024.
Berk’s departure was based on Netflix’s decision to renew the show for a ninth season and offer the cast new contracts, which he decided not to sign.
Despite Berk’s exit, the rest of the Fab Five continued with their new contracts in hand.
Jeremiah Brent’s husband, Nate Berkus, has also enjoyed a successful career as an author, television personality, and interior designer.
The couple has two children together and continues to collaborate on several projects.
