NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) -- NBC-owned Bravo is close to signing a mammoth renewal deal for a second season of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
Scout Productions, which created the hit makeover series, is negotiating with the network for a hefty order of about 40 episodes, sources said. "Queer" began a 13-episode run in July, and Bravo had already ordered as many as seven additional episodes that Scout will begin producing next week.
"We won't be shutting off the 'Queer Eye' production engine for quite a while," said David Collins, "Queer Eye" co-creator and executive producer.
Not as close to completion, according to sources, are a separate deal between Scout and NBC that will presumably repurpose (i.e. recycle) "Queer" in primetime as well as talent deals to bring back the "Fab Five," the quintet of style experts who signed on to the program for a relative pittance of $3,000 per episode, according to contracts made available on the Smoking Gun Web site.
