Karamo Brown gushed to We weekly about Strange eyes new comer Jeremiah Brent.

“It’s interesting, you know, like, Jeremiah is an extremely talented and extremely driven, extremely entertaining man,” Karamo said Us on Friday, June 7, while at the Critics Choice Association’s inaugural LGBTQ+ Film and Television Celebration at the Fairmont Century Plaza. “With Bobby deciding to go, I think it’s exciting to have somebody else come in who’s excited, and I mean I’m excited for the season (being) one of the best.”

While Brown is excited about the upcoming season of Strange eyes, he noted that the addition of Brent won’t shake things up too much. “I don’t think it brings anything that wasn’t there,” Brown said. “But what I think he does is he has his own sense of style. And I think it’s exciting to see someone who has a different sense of style. It’s not better or worse. It’s just different and I think audiences will love it too.”

Bobby Berk announced his exit from Strange eyes in November 2023, after six years with the series. It wasn’t until days later that a source told us that the reason behind his departure was “because he didn’t resonate with the cast.”

“I made peace with it at the end of New Orleans two years ago because we all thought that was the end and started working on other projects,” he continued.

“There are some scripted shows that are in development,” Berk added. “So lots of fun stuff and then of course my design firm. I had it before Strange eyes and you still have it. It was very fun.”

Your communication is great. Like, I don’t know if I want to screw up. You know what i mean? So we’ll see.”
