Happy Pride Month! Streaming services and networks have a slew of Pride programming coming out in June 2022. From brand-new releases to in-season shows you know and love, we’ve compiled a Pride Month programming guide so you don’t have to.
Some exciting new releases include Discovery+‘s The Book of Queer — a Drunk History-like series showcasing LGBTQIA+ history — and Trixie Motel, a documentary series from beloved RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel. Peacock‘s Queer as Folk reboot also debuts this month, as does Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang‘s new Hulu movie Fire Island.
Some on this list aren’t official Pride Month releases, but they feature queer characters, actors, and creators. Other things, like the 2022 Tony Awards, are just inherently queer. It’s canon.
Below, find the full list of LGBTQIA+ programming coming to networks and streaming services this June, plus where to watch them.
