What is up YouTube, it's your girl Evelyn and today I want
to highlight some upcoming shows and films featuring queer lady characters.
So sit back, enjoy the video and if there are any upcoming shows or films I've missed,
please let me know in the comment.s
The awkwardly charming and hilarious dramedy, 'Feel Good'
is back for its second season and I could not be more excited!
If you caught my 'Best Lesbian Shows You're Not Watching' video
then you already know how good this show is.
And judging by the season two trailer, it's about to get even better.
"I wish i could just start fresh but I just keep replaying the past."
"You have a career, you got a girl who loves you. Don't throw all that away."
Between May's reluctant stint in rehab,
Lisa Kudrow reprising her hilarious role as May's mother
and the first lady of Rough Ryders, Eve, joining the cast
it's almost too much.
"I'm so excited! I'm so excited!"
You can catch the season two premiere of 'Feel Good'
June 4th on Netflix.
'Betty' HBO's unapologetic, female-centric,
queer as hell skateboarding coming-of-age comedy is back.
"It's a sex shop."
"That's legal?"
"Yes, Camille and one day, when you're ready, I'll take you inside."
"How will I know when I'm ready?"
"And if you haven't caught the show yet,
definitely check out my 'Lesbian Shows You Might Have Missed' video.
'Betty' is one of the few shows that consistently leaves me grinning from
ear to ear and I cannot wait to see what kinds of shenanigans the girls get into this season.
You can catch 'Betty's' season two premiere, June 11th on HBO.
And after 'Betty' make sure to stick around for 'In the Heights'
A musical film based on the 2005 Lin-Manuel Miranda musical of the same name.
"Lights up on Washington Heights" Up at the break of day I wake up
And I got this little punk I gotta chase away
Pop the grape at the crack of dawn Sing, while I wipe down the awning
Hey y'all, good morning."
It's about the lives and loves of the residents of Washington Heights,
a largely Dominican neighborhood in New York City but unlike the musical,
the film version has added a lesbian couple. Salon owner, Daniela and beautician, Carla
who were only close friends in the musical are now girlfriends in the film.
Obviously, if you're a Hamilton fan or just a fan of musicals in general,
you'll definitely want to check this one out.
'In the Heights' will be available to stream on HBO Max for 31 days
and it will also be available in theaters.
'The Republic of Sarah' is the CW's latest young adult show
about a teacher who goes up against a greedy mining company by declaring herself to be...
Her own Republic.
"The governor wants our land and she believes it's okay to destroy us to get it."
"But we are going to fight back."
"The way to save our town is to turn it into a country."
Which I assumed was impossible but then I googled it
and it's a thing.
While Sarah herself isn't queer, her roommate AJ is a lesbian.
And although I'm sure most of the plot will be about Sarah...
And her Republic,
I wanted to shout out the CW, because they really
are the most consistent network when it comes to LGBTQ representation.
You can catch the series premiere of 'The Republic of Sarah' June 14th on the CW.
After a season one finale full of twists turns and surprises,
'Motherland: Fort Salem' is finally back.
The second season of the military witch show seems like it might dive
deeper into the lore and past of the magical alternate universe it inhabits.
So, if that sounds like your kind of thing, make sure you're all caught up
with the first season, because season two is returning June 22nd on Freeform.
*Rumors by Lindsey Lohan playing*
You might want to take this next one with an extreme grain of salt
but there is a rumor that Netflix's Gypsy might be returning June 25th for a second season.
If you caught my 'Best Cancelled Lesbian Shows' video,
then you know 'Gypsy' was a super slow burn,
psychological thriller about a May/December lesbian affair,
And honestly, I wouldn't mind another season of 'Gypsy'
but I've only found one source claiming the show is returning
And I don't know if that source is reputable or not.
Personally, I think it's a bit of a long shot.
It's been four years since season one aired.
Not to mention, Netflix hasn't included 'Gypsy' in their June lineup of shows,
but you never know.
I say be on the lookout but maybe keep your expectations low.
This month Hulu dropped 'Pride'
A six-part docu-series chronicling the fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States.
Each episode examines a different decade,
beginning with the 1950s and ending with the current day.
I've only caught the first three episodes but I love how the series highlights,
not only the movement, but the key individuals who influenced so much of the movement.
And even though I didn't love the structure of some of the episodes,
I think the history that 'Pride' explores
is so important and I highly recommend it to every queer and non-queer person alike.
If you're in the mood for something light, fluffy and surprisingly queer look no further
than Netflix's animated family road trip comedy 'The Mitchells vs The Machines'
90% of the movie is the Mitchell family trying to survive a robot apocalypse,
and it's about as quirky and funny as you would think.
But the undisputed heroine of the film is Katie, who is 100% queer.
Not coded.
Not insinuated.
But actually queer.
Which is awesome to see in a family film.
'The Mitchells vs The Machines' is funny, well made and heartwarming
and I can't recommend it enough.
And rounding out this month's list are two Peacock originals featuring queer characters.
The first is 'Girls 5-eva'
A show about a one-hit wonder 90s girls group
who becomes popular again after a hot new artist samples one of their songs,
and at least one of the group's members is a lesbian.
The second in Peacock's queer lineup is 'We Are Lady Parts'
A show that chronicles the highs and lows of a Muslim, all-female punk band.
I haven't watched either show, so I don't know how good or gay they are,
but if you have, please let me know in the comments.
And speaking of comments,
be sure to check out the pinned comment on this video
for a list of shows featuring minor queer characters that are also returning in June.
These are shows that I don't watch and don't know much about,
but if you're interested you can definitely check them out.
And that is it for the list,
I want to give a quick shout out to my newest patrons Tiffany, Julia and Melissa.
