Yellowjackets need look no further than The Homo Schedule podcast to experience the queer actors’ real-life friendship. The first-ever podcast from Netflix, The Homo Schedule is a heartfelt and comedic dive into the lives of queer luminaries like director and actor Natalie Morales and The L Word: Generation Q’s Leo Sheng.
Produced by Netflix’s Most and Multitude, Hewson (Let It Snow, Bombshell) and Brown (Scream, The Leftovers) proved early on that the first rule of great storytelling, especially about LGBTQ+ identity, is to know how to listen.The Homo Schedule launched in January with guest Bex Taylor-Klaus of The Killing, Arrow, and the Scream series.
At the time, the podcast was called The Gay Agenda, but listeners wrote in to say that the name or part of the name was already the title of a few other podcasts, asking that the duo change the name.
So Hewson and Brown pivoted, and voilà, The Homo Schedule was born, based on a suggestion from Taylor-Klaus in their pilot episode.
