NEW CONTENT
Scripted short form series "We Three Queens" (5x5’) is a funny dramedy produced by Thomas Rees and Michael Young which follows two young queers and a scrappy older woman living together. "OUTspoken: I Work from Home", produced by Border2Border Entertainment is an hour documentary focusing on how sites like OnlyFans have destabilized the traditional production, distribution and monetization of X-rated entertainment.
Brand-new acquisition for OUTtv’s slate, "The Gold Rush" (8x45-60’) is produced by Trash TV and is a weekly elimination competition for drag performers where the winner takes home a fabulous prize and the losers are sent packing! The show, a first of its kind, combines reality TV and docuseries elements in one glittering package - creating an exciting never-before-seen format. Also produced by Border2Border Entertainment, popular documentary series "Drag Heals" (8x 30’) has been renewed for a fourth season. The series follows drag artists building their own stage show from deeply personal stories, exploring soul-deep story sharing techniques as well as the unique talents and skills required from a drag performer.
