Netflix is reportedly making a brand new rom com and it's said to be based on Antoni Porowski's love life.

The 36-year-old Queer Eye star has reportedly teamed up with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris for the feature film, which will be titled Girls & Boys and loosely based on the chef's dating life.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news earlier this week, adding that filmmakers Andrew Rhymer and Jeff Chan (who were also at the helm of Hulu rom com Plus One) are expected to write the script.

Queer Eye fans will know Antoni is the show's culinary expert, but he's also an actor and a model, although it's currently unknown whether he will play himself in the film.

In an interview with GQ last year, Antoni spoke about his dating life, explaining he's been in relationships with both men and women and prefers to live without a label.

"I don't really know and I kind of like not knowing. [...] I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it dishonours women that I've been in love with," he said.

While Netflix is yet to release any details on the movie, Tyla has reached out to the streaming platform for extra info.

In other very exciting Queer Eye news, Netflix announced last month that Season 6 of the show is currently being filmed.


The show confirmed the news by sharing a photo of the Fab Five dressed in Western ensembles, posing in front of Austin's famed El Arroyo restaurant.

Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting news of the Season 5 release date, which is set to be some time this summer. The fifth series was filmed in Philadelphia and we've been waiting *very* patiently for news of its return.

With Girls & Boys and the upcoming seasons, it certainly seems there's lots to look forward to for Queer Eye fans! More as it comes...
