Jonathan Van Ness is Getting a New Netflix Series
Jonathan Van Ness is already familiar to many Netflix users, returning on the upcoming sixth season of Queer Eye on December 21, but now, the vibrant personality is set to star in their own Netflix show based on their podcast, Getting Curious.
The new show, Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, aims to explore “various fields to uncover complexities in a wide range of subjects,” according to the show’s official logline, “from skyscrapers to bugs, or from gender identity to snacks,” so fans can surely expect a wide range of topics and discussions.
The podcast premiered back in 2015 and similarly looked at a plethora of different topics. Recent episodes of the podcast include “Who Built the Panama Canal?,” “How Sharp Is the History of Scissors?,” and “What’s the Cure for Vaccine Misinformation?”
JVN shared the news on Instagram last week, as part of an Entertainment Weekly exclusive.
“I have been working towards this moment for almost ten years, and it’s finally here!!” they write. “Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness is the TV adaptation of my podcast of the same name. … In each episode I take on a different question, going out into the world with multiple experts to get the answers we’re all (or at least I am) hungry for!”

The series will also be produced by the makers of RuPaul’s Drag Race World of Wonder.
Entertainers and friends immediately showed their support, with fellow Queer Eye host Antoni Porowski commenting “Congraaaaaaats yayayayayayaya.” Olympian Adam Rippon chimed in, “SO EXCITED FOR YOU. Will be binging ASAP.” Even Katie Couric shared some love, adding “So exciting!!!”
While fans wait, they can find JVN on the new Queer Eye, with the Fab 5 heading to Texas. Getting Curious is set to debut on Netflix on January 28, 2022.
