We are pleased to see this year’s crops include attractive queer and queer-related options to add to your list. As always, the blades provide details.
Lost Boy and the Fairy (Miniseries, March 4th, Britbox) Already streaming this spring is this acclaimed BBC production from 2024, a heartwarming three-episode saga about the efforts to adopt a child, Siônaniel Young and fra Fee. The story is odd, but the issues addressing it are universal. They hesitate to become parents because of past problems and fear of failure. Tackling the consensus with an unfortunate childhood, and the difficult prospect of being a parent when you are not sure you can manage your life – and you can put all the right notes to make this series into all the series to be. Elizabeth Bellington, Sharon D. Clarke, Maria Doyle Kennedy, William Thomas and Irwell Grufid are also stars.
Child-raising (Movie, March 13th, Max) This feature-length film for television, young gay couple Rohan and Josh (Nick Dodani and Brandon Flynn), rent a country house to host a weekend getaway with their respective parents, discovering that the three couples share space with the evil 400-year-old entitled. Director Craig Johnson’s horror comedy has an automatic “fan” appeal provided by its star, especially Flynn (“13 Reasons”). He also boasts impressive supporting cast including Parker Posey (“Best in Show”, “White Lotus”), Brian Cox (“Inheritance”), Lisa Cudrow (“Friends”, “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”), Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”, “Crows”), Eddie Falco (“Splanos”” (“Breaking Bad”), and “Splanos” (“Breaking Bad”). It should be fun.
Odessa (Movie, March 20, Hulu) This self-proclaimed “post-apocalyptic musical drama,” an ambitious project from writer/director Geremy Jasper, follows a farm girl in the future with “she sets out on a journey” in search of “she tries to save true love” while “she tries to save her true love.” Developed by Disney’s “Prestige” Searchlight Pictures Division and featuring music and song scores from Jasper and Jason Binnick, South By Southwest Festival and Stars Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) featured Regina Hall (“Scarary Film”, “Girls” Trip), “Murray Bartlett”, “White Rotus” (“Elvis”, “Chevalier”), and singer-songwriter Pokira Furge.
Dope Thief (Miniseries, March 14, Apple TV) Dennis Tafoya’s novel is the inspiration for this gritty miniseries about an ex-folk who posed as a DEA agent for a robbery and discovers the biggest secret drug manipulation on the US East Coast. This creates our list just for the star power of the headliner. He praised black actor Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”, “Eternal”). It also features power players such as Ving Rhames (“Pulp Fiction”), Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Voyager” and “Orange Is The New Black”), Amir Arison, Marin Areland and Nesta Cooper.
Rupaul’s Drag Race Live (Special, Wow Presents Plus, March 16th) Fans of the iconic Rupaul don’t want to miss this special event broadcast when the 1,000th performance of the live residency of the groundbreaking “reality competition” show at the Flamingo resort in Las Vegas airs on the World of Wonder’s Wow Presents Plus platform. It features performances of multiple special surprise guests, Plain Jane, to do things like Ever Handsome, like Ever Handsome, Queen’s Asia O’Hara, Ginger Minge, Haida Essence Hall, Kylie Sonik Love, Morhine Love Dion, Plain Jane, and multiple special surprise guests, sick lip syncs, and Ever Poplar’s Pattle Crew. There.
Housing (Series, March 20, Netflix) As if they haven’t seen enough dramas from the White House recently, Netflix offers this mystery miniseries about a fictional murder investigation among staff at the popular Shonda Rhimes-led mansion. Udo Adubo (“Orange Is The New Black”) stars as a major detective, including Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”, “The Mandalorian”), Susan Kelechi Watson (“This Is Us”), Jason Lee (“My Name is Earl”), Ken Marino (“The Boat”) and Bronson’s Pinchot (“The Perfect Stranger”). As if that wasn’t enough, they promise to star from beloved “SNL” alumni Jane Curtin and Al Franken, as well as a guest starring Kylie Minogue herself.
Mid-century modern (Series, March 28, Hulu) The most enthusiastically anticipated bizarre entry for the spring television season is in the second half of the lineup, but it’s worth the wait. Three best friends (all gay men of a certain age) are pivoted by unexpected deaths and unanticipated deaths who decide to live together in Palm Springs, enjoying “rich gay” fables while celebrating a chosen family (may be branded by Jennifer Coolidge’s Tonya McKade). Perhaps the closest thing we’ll see in the remake of “Gay Golden Girls” that many of us have long dreamed of, and it could coincide with the high expectations surrounding it, with a cast led by Nathan Lane, Matt Bommer, Nathan Lee Graham and the late Linda Rabin. It also features a roster of guest stars including Pamela Adlon, Vanessa Bayer, Kimberly Coles, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Judd Hirsch, Richard Kind, Stephanie Koenig, Billy Lourdes, Esther Moon Wu, Jame Moyer, Cheri Oteli, Law Perman, Zane Phillips and more.
