Hello and welcome to April, a month full of inspiration and excitement for the whole family, and by “the whole family” I mean gay people looking for lesbian, bisexual and queer characters on their television screens!
First, some business: I want to tell you that last month I didn’t know there was a lesbian character on Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat but there is, and it’s a really great show. (Nothing will ever be as great as the original Jury Duty but these guys really did figure out a way to make it work again in a different scenario!)
Some not-lesbian stuff I’m excited about: Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale sequel The Testaments (which I read and loved earlier this year) is coming out April 8. An adaptation of the novel Margot’s Got Money Trouble, about a young mother who turns to OnlyFans to support her baby, debuts April 15 on Apple TV, and I fired up the screeners looking for queers and although I didn’t find any explicit queer representation, I kept on watching regardless because I really enjoyed it! Furthermore, Dan Levy’s Big Mistakes drops on Netflix April 9th, and it’s not girl gay but it’s very very guy gay.
The Valley: Season 3 Premiere // April 1/2 // Bravo/Peacock
Jasmine Goode and Melissa Marie will be having their lesbian wedding on this season of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules spin-off.
Long Time Listener (2026) // April 2 // AMC All BLKÂ
This noir-esque suspense thriller centers on Genesis (Megan Holder) a (bisexual!) true crime podcast host who finds herself and her pod targeted by a scary “long time listener” who seems hell-bent on her destruction. Her co-host, Max, is also queer!
XO Kitty: Season 3 Premiere // April 2 // Netflix
Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) faces her final year at KISS in Season Three — and the trailer suggests the bulk of her romantic attention will be directed towards Min Ho. But her former crush Yuri (Gia Kim) is returning, as is Yuri’s ex Juliana (Regan Aliyah) and the girl Kitty fumbled her thing with, Praveena (Sasha Bhasin). To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before fans will be delighted to hear that the series’ heroine Lara Jean — Kitty’s sister — will appear in multiple episodes of Season Three.
Hacks: Season 5 Premiere //Â April 9 // HBO Max
Hacks‘ writers have had the last scene of the series planned since the jump, and I for one cannot wait to see it, but also am sad about it, because it is such a good show and I don’t want it to be over. Cherry Jones and Leslie Bibb are joining the cast in an arrangement that seems to be “lesbian couple.”
Outcome (2026) // April 10 // Apple TV+
I’m not sure if she’s playing a trans character, but Laverne Cox is part of the cast of this black comedy following Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves), a massive movie star looking to rehab his image after making heaps of enemies during his five-year heroin addiction. Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer play his only remaining friends.
Christy (2025) // April 10 // HBO Max
The streaming premiere of the biopic about America’s best-known 1990’s female boxer, Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney), a lesbian who’s coach-turned-husband attempted to murder her after years of control and abuse.
Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair: Limited Series Premiere // April 10 // Hulu
Freddie Muniz returns as Malcolm for this four-part original series follow-up. Malcom is apparently no longer really in the middle — he’s got a girlfriend and a daughter and has gone no-contact with his family, until he’s roped back in for his parents’ 40th anniversary. Nonbinary actor Vaughan Murrae plays Kelly, Hal and Lois’ youngest child, who is nonbinary. (Their existence was teased in the original series finale when Lois discovered she was pregnant again).
Euphoria: Season 3 Premiere // April 12 // HBO Max
It’s been a minute since Season 2, and Season 3 is vaulting us five years into the future — where “a group of childhood friends [are] wrestling with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.” Rue’s using again and in trouble with the law, Cassie’s engaged to Nate and addicted to social media, Jules is in art school, seemingly doing some sex work, and “very nervous about having a career as a painter and trying to avoid responsibility at all costs.” Maddy and Lexi are both working in Hollywood. New cast members include Sharon Stone, Danielle Deadwyler, Natasha Lyonne, Trisha Payta and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
The Audacity: Season One Premiere // April 12 // AMC+
A dark comedy set in the Silicon Valley tech bubble plans to take on “the warped dreams, outsized egos, and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future.” Nonbinary actor Jess McLeod plays pink-haired Harper and I’m gonna assume based on that name and the actor and the hair color that the character is indeed also nonbinary.
From: Season 4 Premiere // April 19 // MGM+
Focusing on the aftermath of town lore-related revelations, Season 4 finds Boyd trying very hard to keep the town together amid some steep odds. While our lesbian Kristi Miller was sidelined for much of Season 3 with a foot injury, we’re hoping to see her out and about with her wife Marielle this year in a season apparently described as “dark, twisted and instantly engaging.”

Liked it verymuch. I always check out your tips for the moth to come and to share.
Love always,

I really enjoyed reading Margo’s Got Money Troubles, much more than I expected, so iM so excited to hear the show’s good!! I also hated The Testaments sooooo much but that’s I think in big part because I adore ambiguity and The Handmaids Tale ends with all that, and this took it from us. What can we do!
