It could be our first 2022 gay obsession!
Mey RudeAre you ready for some sex on the ski slopes?
Set in the real-life Austrian ski resort town of Kitzbühel, Netflix’s newest series, Kitz, is a German teen thriller, and it’s about to be your next queer obsession.
The show follows 19-year-old Lisi (Sofie Eifertinger), a Kitzbühel local who wants to get revenge on a group of high-class partiers, led by influencer Vanessa, who she holds responsible for her brother’s death.
The trailer is full of glamorous parties and partiers, as well as an abundance of secrets, twists, and turns. As Lisi gets closer to Vanessa and the rest of her group, we also see her plans for violent revenge come to life, including what looks like a burning ski lodge.
The show looks like it’ll have plenty of Gossip Girl and Elite style hookups and partying, and the cast is full of beautiful young actors. With it’s stunning alpine setting and dark revenge plot, Kitz has all the makings of a bingeworthy show. And even better, it looks like it will have some great gay content as well.
Lisi’s best friend in the town is Hans (Ben Felipe), a gay farm boy. He eventually becomes her partner in revenge as they try to take down the rich kids. But, according to Netflix, he “may or may not have a connection of his own to the group of well-off Germans spending the New Year’s holiday in Kitzbühel.”
There’s also Kosh, played by Zoran Pingel, who is the “outcast” of the high-class clique that vacations in the town. He’s described as “happy-go-lucky on the outside — outspoken and unabashedly queer — but, on the inside, he's reeling from his hotel-owner father's death.”
Kosh and Hans appear to be making out in one scene, and we see another shirtless, steamy scene with two men making out, but we can’t see their faces. Maybe Kosh is the connection that Hans “may or may not” have with the rich kids?
To find out, watch Kitz on Netflix, streaming now.
