WATCH: There’s a thirsty third, baby drama & more in “unapologetically queer” comedy ‘Unconventional’
boom* there’s your happy ending.But, as we well know, when it comes to queer love stories, things are often anything but conventional.That’s certainly the case in the upcoming Revry original dramedy Unconventional, which follows a pair of thirty-something queer siblings who have each begun to settle into lives with their significant others, but are starting to realize they might want more than the traditional happy ending.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Created by and starring Kit Williamson, the series is described as a “spiritual successor” to his Emmy-nominated web series EastSiders, which premiered via Logo TV and later streamed via Netflix.Whereas that series explored modern life & love in the Silver Lake neighborhood of east Los Angeles, Unconventional goes even further east to the historic gay community of Palm Springs and the high desert of Joshua Tree.It’s there that we find millennial PhD student Noah Guillory (Williamson) living with his husband of 10 years, Dan (High Tide‘s James Bland).
The two seem to have everything going for them—including an enviable desert home and a plan to adopt—but it’s clear that, after a decade of wedded bliss, both are questioning what they want out of their lives… especially after the experiment with opening things up to a third.Meanwhile, Noah is the sperm donor to his sister Margot’s (Nashville‘s Aubrey Shea) wife Eliza (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Briana Venskus).
