From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Don’t worry – your new emotional lifeline isn’t going anywhere soon.

Netflix has announced its renewing Queer Eye for a third season, only a day after the reality makeover show landed four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Structured Reality Program, Casting, Picture Editing, and Cinematography.

All five co-hosts - Antoni Porowski (food and wine expert), Bobby Berk (design), Karamo Brown (culture), Jonathan Van Ness (grooming), and Tan France (fashion) – are set to return.

The new eight-episode season has commenced production in Kansas City, Missouri, Netflix has said; the first two seasons focused on Georgia, with season 2 including Mexican bartender Leo, who refuses to grow up, and homeschooled Sean, who just needed a little bit of confidence.

A new take on Bravo’s show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the first two seasons of Queer Eye debuted earlier this year on the streaming service to vast critical and popular acclaim.

The Independent‘s Tom Rasmussen wrote of season 2: “in a world where both things have become huge sites of conflict, Queer Eye is urgency disguised as frippery, as acceptance Trojan Horsing as entertainment, and it’s absolutely gay and glorious.”

The third season of Queer Eye is set to debut on Netflix in 2019.
