The flowers are blooming, and the birds are chirping, which can only mean one thing: it's time to say goodbye to seasonal affective disorder and hello to spring!

From films that promise threesomes to series that will make you laugh, there is something for everyone to look forward to.
Scroll through to see check out all of the LGBTQ+ entertainment scheduled to come out this spring that we are dying to watch!
Ripley (Apr. 4)
Ripley, a limited series adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr Ripley, is likely to have all of the homoerotic moments that people loved in the 1999 film adaptation. Plus, this time, Tom Ripley is being played by an actual gay actor with Andrew Scott — who just starred in the brilliant All of Us Strangers — taking on the devious role.
Mary & George (Apr. 5)
Based on a true story, Mary & George is a steamy seven-part mini-series that follows Julianne Moore and Nicholas Glitzine as the titular Mary and her son George Villiers as they plot to gain power and influence in the English court by using George to seduce King James I. The trailer teases an orgy, sex scenes between George and the King, and maybe even a lesbian dalliance between Mary and another woman, so, of course, we're going to be watching!
Housekeeping for Beginners (Apr. 5)
Goran Stolevski's Housekeeper's for Beginners won the Queer Lion at the 2023 Venice Film Festival and follows a woman who never wanted to be a mother but is forced to raise her girlfriend's two daughters.
Heartbreak High, season 2 (Apr. 11)
The second season of Heartbreak High is almost here, and we can't wait! This loving reboot of the '90s Australian show deals with racial and gender diversity and teenagers' complicated feelings about sexuality and relationships. In the new season, Sam Rechner joins the cast as a country boy, and cinephile Rowan Callaghan and Kartanya Maynard will play opinionated celibacy advocate Zoe Clarke.
Challengers (Apr. 26)
Luca Guadagnino's sexy tennis movie Challengers was delayed multiple times last year because of the Hollywood strikes, but now it's finally almost time to head to the theater to watch Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor get ensnared in a messy love triangle and have a steamy threesome!
Doctor Who (May)
The new season of Doctor Who will usher in the 15th Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, whom audiences met during the last Christmas special. Not only is Gatwa queer, but nonbinary drag queen Jinkx Monsoon will be joining the show as a campy villain — we can't wait!
Hacks, season 3 (May 2)
Hacks, the hilarious Jean Smart-led comedy, is coming back for its third season. On the show, Smart plays legendary comedian Deborah Vance, who hires a young writer named Ava (Hannah Einbinder) to help her liven up her routine. The new season also promises Christina Hendricks as a gay oil heiress, so we're not going to miss an episode!
I Saw the TV Glow (May 3)
I Saw the TV Glow is nonbinary director Jane Schoenbrun's follow-up to their debut film We're All Going to the World's Fair. This creepy horror movie from A24 follows queer teen Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and her best friend Owen (Justice Smith), who use a TV show called The Pink Opaque to escape from their stressful lives, but when the line between reality and fiction starts to blur, Maddy disappears and Owen is forced to confront the horror she left behind.
Interview with a Vampire, season 2 (May 12)
Interview with the Vampire season two wil pick up with Louis and Claudia traveling to Paris, where they’ll meet Armand, Santiago and others at the Théâtre des Vampires, while Lestat nurses his wounds and feeds on rats to recover from what Louis and Claudia did to him at the end of the first season. If it's anything like season one, expect it to be GAY.
Inside Out 2 (June 14)
Ok, so we may be getting our hopes up prematurely with this one, but the trailer had Gay Twitter theorizing that main character Riley is going to be made canonically queer in the new film and have an adorable crush on a girl who plays hockey in this sequel to the popular Pixar movie. Don't let us down again, Disney!
