From The Gilded Age to Blade Runner 2099. From Black Doves to Yellowjackets. From One Baby, Please! to The Hunting Wives. This November has a wide range of projects featuring talent and characters across the LGBTQ+ community.
These new and returning shows take place in unique worlds, tackle specific storylines, and span different genres. Some are expensive productions that air on premium channels. Others are indie projects that find viewers on streaming services. But there’s room for all of it, which feels really good.
