Here's all the queer content coming to your TV in 2023!
Even though many queer series were canceled in 2022, there are also several LGBTQ-inclusive TV shows that were renewed for new seasons scheduled to air in 2023.
There's no denying that 2022 was an incredibly harsh year for LGBTQ+ content on television. From the ending of Killing Eve and Love, Victor to the cancelation of Batwoman, Legendary, Los Espookys, and the Queer As Folk reboot, it was gut-wrenching for queer audiences to see these shows not coming back for another year.
And yet, from broadcast channels to cable networks to streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and Paramount+, not all is lost when it comes to queer content in 2023. There are still plenty of LGBTQ-inclusive series coming back for another season - and we couldn't be more excited to watch them!
Scroll through to see which LGBTQ+ TV shows have already been renewed for new seasons to air in 2023.
