Doctor Who

Doctor Who has been a beloved sci-fi series for decades, and in 2024, it continues to push boundaries by featuring LGBTQ+ actors in prominent roles. After an immensely successful Christmas Special written by Russell T Davies, Ncuti Gatwa is taking the reigns as the Fifteenth Doctor for a full series this May, with guest stars Jinkx Monsoon and Yasmin Finney. This iconic show has always been about embracing diversity and inclusivity, and the upcoming season promises to further explore LGBTQ+ narratives in imaginative and thought-provoking ways.

Big Boys

Big Boys is a Channel 4 semi-biographical comedy series that follows the life of writer Jacke Rooke’s university experience. Capturing the quintessential young, working-class, queer British experience, featuring crushing on straight men and going to your first gay night out, this adorable drama touches on a range of empowering and relevant topics. Dylan Llewellyn of Derry Girls fame absolutely wins the audience over in his performance as Jack, as well as Camille Coduri as his somewhat overprotective but adoring mother. Season 2 is coming out this January.

We're Here

We're Here continues to shine a spotlight on LGBTQ+ voices and stories in 2024, as it follows drag queens on a mission to empower and uplift queer individuals in small towns across America. With its celebration of self-expression and resilience, We're Here provides a powerful platform for diverse queer narratives and experiences. It’s fourth season airs this year, and if you haven’t seen it already and need some feel-good TV in your life, then look no further!
