From the third season of Heartstopper to Red, White & Blue star Nicholas Galitzine’s saucy new series, here are our most anticipated LGBTQIA+ shows of 2024.
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN Although we’re still mourning the loss of various shows that were cancelled last year – Fate: The Winx Saga, The L Word: Generation Q and Gossip Girl, to name a few – 2023 was trailblazing in its small-screen representation of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Rachel Weisz played unhinged queer gynaecologists in the salacious, gender-swapped remake of Dead Ringers, post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us had viewers blubbering with Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman’s love story and Jonathan Bailey slobbered on Matt Bomer’s toes in Fellow Travelers.
An iconic year, really. This year looks to be extremely gay, also: Ncuti Gatwa makes history as the first person of the LGBTQIA+ experience to play the titular Doctor Who, Nicholas Galitzine of Red, White & Royal Blue fame seduces King James in Sky Atlantic’s spicy period drama Mary & George and camp icon Dannii Minogue returns as Cupid for I Kissed a Boy’s queer female spin-off.
