June 3
Next Gen NYC (Season One — Bravo)
The children of Real Housewives fan-favorites—gay designer and entrepreneur Brooks (Meredith Marks), Gia (Teresa Giudice), Ariana (Kim Zolciak), and Riley (Kandi Burruss)—are bringing the drama in Next Gen NYC. Featuring trans model Emira D’Spain, the show follows a tangled web of twentysomethings who were raised in the spotlight as they navigate friendships, careers and romance. Tune in to Bravo at 9pm ET or stream the next day on Peacock!
June 17
I Kissed a Boy (Season Two — Hulu)
Dannii Minogue is playing Cupid to a brand new group of single men, including the show’s first trans contestant, hopeless romantic Lars! Narrated by Layton Williams, the men meet with a kiss to help them determine if there is a connection. From there, they’ll spend the summer getting to know each other in a swanky new Italian masseria, choosing to stay with their current partners in “kiss-offs” or exploring new connections along the way. Stream the new season on Hulu today and catch the reunion on June 24.
June 18
The Buccaneers (Season Two — Apple TV+)
The boisterous Buccaneers are back with more queer romance from beloved couple Mabel and Honoria! Inspired by Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, the series follows a group of fun-loving American women in the 1870s as they descend upon London to secure a husband and a title, inadvertently kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. In the sophomore season, the girls must fight to be heard as they wrestle with lust, jealousy, births and deaths — themes that consume all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Check out GLAAD’s interview with trans star Josie Totah and Mia Threapleton and don’t miss the season premiere on Apple TV+.
June 22

Get ready to witness history with fierce competition, jaw-dropping performances and stunning transformations! Hosted by legendary drag king Murray Hill, eight contestants of diverse gender identities compete to be crowned the “King of Drag” through challenges and unconventional performances. Special guest judges are set to appear alongside a regular panel—composed of Gottmik, Sasha Velour, Tenderoni, Wang Newton and Revy co-founder Damian Pelliccione—including Vico Ortiz, Liv Hewson, Cole Escola, Brian Michael Smith, and more! Catch the groundbreaking series premiere on Revry.
