The Best New LGBTQIA+ Shows To Watch This Month!
March is a strong month for queer TV. Three new seasons arrive across different platforms, and each one brings something worth your time. Whether you’re into crime comedy, teen drama, or a gay comeback story, a lot is landing.
Single, Out
Single, Out Season 4 premieres on 6 March on Here TV, the US-based streaming service dedicated to LGBTQIA+ content. This season picks up with Adam dealing with the closure of Single, Out magazine. With his career at a turning point, he pulls together a familiar group of faces to chase new opportunities and get things back on track. The Australian-produced series has built a loyal following. Screens on Amazon Prime in Australia.
Deadloch
Australia’s darkest, funniest and most lesbian cop show, Deadloch lands with season two on Amazon Prime on 10 March. Detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe are in Darwin this time, looking into the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy. Their plans shift when a body part turns up in a remote town called Barra Creek. With the Northern Territory police tied up on a large-scale search for two missing backpackers, the pair are handed a John Doe case neither of them asked for. The first season, set in Tasmania, earned its reputation for sharp writing and deadpan humour. Season 2 looks set to do the same.
Heartbreak High
Heartbreak High Season 3 arrives on Netflix on 25 March, and the graduating class of Hartley High is nearly out the door. Nearly, because a revenge prank goes badly wrong and Amerie and her friends have a mess to cover up. Returning characters include Quinni, whose portrayal of autism has been widely praised, along with nonbinary character Darren, and bisexual characters Missy and Malakai. At DNA, we’ve been waiting for this one. The show has never treated its queer representation as a footnote, and Season 3 is reportedly built around the themes of “consequences and class.” It’s the kind of series that earns its audience rather than simply assumes it.
