"Drag House Rules"
LGBTQ+ streaming service OUTtv has unveiled its latest programming slate, featuring three newly commissioned original series and renewals for two of its hit shows. New originals include scripted mystery "Laid Bare", supernatural thriller "Eyes in the Woods", and home renovation docu-series "DIY Dungeon", while scripted hit "Cam Boy" and drag mockumentary "Drag House Rules" return for second seasons.
Philip Webb, COO of OUTtv, said: "This slate showcases everything that makes OUTtv what it is: innovative, fun programming which is deeply connected to our audience. Our new and returning titles showcase the range and depth of LGBTQ+ creativity, from murder mysteries and competing queens to renovations and open relationships. Every series we greenlight reflects a facet of queer life that deserves to be seen and celebrated, and we're thrilled to bring both returning favourites and exciting new voices to our audiences around the world.”
NEW ORIGINALS
Upcoming OUTtv original series "DIY Dungeon" (6x30’) is a lifestyle renovation series unlike any of its predecessors. The new safe-for-work reality series follows Joey Mills and his bestie Fantasia Royale Gaga ("Boulet Brother’s Dragula"), as they turn the basement of his Victorian home into one of the hottest BDSM playspaces in the country. Produced by Daddy TV Inc., the series blends practical DIY advice for the want-to-be home dungeon mistress (or master) with high-camp flair and a sex-positive message.
"Laid Bare" (8x15’) is a scripted queer thriller following ten men who arrive at a gay nude resort after receiving a mysterious invitation. When guests start turning up dead, long-held secrets are laid bare and nothing (and no one!) is as it seems. Blending dark humour and camp with edge-of-your-seat suspense, this OUTtv original series produced by Tim O’Leary, Robert Rice and Cara Salmeri is set to film at the iconic Desert Paradise Resort Hotel in Palm Springs.
Rounding out the slate of new commissions is "Eyes in the Woods" (8x12’), a scripted series with a supernatural twist produced by Numera Films. A summer weekend at a cabin tucked away in the wilderness takes a turn towards the supernatural as sisters Brooklyn and Sam collect a series of clues that lead them towards the truth about a glowing pair of eyes in the woods.
RENEWALS
Returning for a second season is hit "Drag House Rules". The scripted mockumentary that parodies reality TV is back for a new season and features an even bigger cast of all-star queens this time around. The show is produced by Producer Entertainment Group.
Also set for renewal is "Cam Boy" (6x30’), a scripted series that follows young gay cam performers trying to balance their online personas with the messiness of real life. Returning cast includes Callum Dunphy, Julien Galipeau, and David Light, with Thom Fitzgerald helming season two as creator/director. The series is produced by Isolatary 2 Pictures Inc.
