Nyle DiMarco is the latest actor to join the cast of the upcoming Queer as Folk reboot. Last year, Peacock (an NBC-owned streaming platform) revealed that it will be creating a new version of the British drama.
It will serve as a revival of the series created by Russell T. Davies, which revolved around three gay men living in Manchester.
The success of the original show spawned an American reboot that was set in Pittsburgh and aired on Showtime in the early 2000s.
Despite being a groundbreaking show for the LGBTQ+ community when the American version started airing in 2000, it faced fierce criticism for primarily focusing on white characters and straight actors playing gay roles.
