Things are becoming curiouser and curiouser for Jonathan Van Ness.

The Queer Eye star will be branching out at Netflix with a solo project inspired by his weekly podcast Getting Curious, EW has exclusively learned. Van Ness will host a new reality series of the same name, with each episode diving deep into a question that makes the host curious. The show, produced by World of Wonder (the same company behind RuPaul's Drag Race), will debut on Netflix in January.

Per the official logline, "From skyscrapers to bugs, or from gender identity to snacks, each episode follows Jonathan as he meets with experts in various fields to uncover complexities in a wide range of subjects."
