Deep Inside Hollywood:
A new ‘Queer as Folk’ is coming to Peacock
Romeo San Vincent
After a couple years of rumbling maybes, there’s a new Queer as Folk on the way, with an eight-episode, straight-to-series order from NBC’s streaming service Peacock. The “reimagining” is from Little America creator Stephen Dunn, who’ll set the update among a diverse group of queer friends in New Orleans. (The original UK series was set in Manchester, the U.S. version in Pittsburgh). We’re hopeful that this iteration will take that diversity seriously, because unlike the first wave of LGBT scripted dramas for television the UK and American QaF included that were almost entirely centered on white, cisgender characters, we now live with a TV landscape that includes a revived L Word and Pose, programs that deliver a much more inclusive vision of the queer family.
