The emotionally charged trailer for the queer drama Our Son, starring Billy Porter and Luke Evans, has dropped. The trailer starts with the family unit sitting around the table as the son of the pair, Owen, explains to his parents Nicky (Evans) and Gabriel (Porter): “Sometimes when I play with Eli, he wants to be the princess and I am the prince.” “Well that’s okay your daddy always wanted to be the princess too,” Gabriel responds, to which Nicky answers: “Hello, who doesn’t want to be Cinderella?” The mundanities of the family routine unfold and a snapshot of the couple’s life unfolds, with cracks in the couple’s dynamic beginning to appear.

This is followed by Gabriel confronting Nicky in bed after a marital spat in front of their friends over dinner, stating: “I really hate it when you argue with me in front of our friends.” “Is that what this is about?” replies Nicky, with Gabriel reflecting back: “No.” The trailer builds in pace as the couple navigate telling family about divorcing and starting the custody negotiations.

As the trailer reaches its climax, soundbites from the couple are spliced together across scenes of custody negotiations and the navigation of a new way of parenting: “I thought we were going to grow old and die together” / “Why are you doing this?

You are destroying everything we built together.” The first glimpse of Our Son seems to tap into many of the standards that LGBTQIA+ couples are held to against their hetronormative counterparts.
