What will you be watching in 2019?
2018 was a hell of a year for LGBTQ television, especially for queer characters of color, which has us even more hyped for what 2019 has in store! But while some of our favorite queer characters reside on shows like How to Get Away with Murder and Will & Grace, television is growing so quickly we can barely keep up.
Well, here are your CliffsNotes! 15 new and upcoming shows with LGBTQ storylines we can't wait to binge!
Batwoman
Ruby Rose is putting on the cape for Batwoman. Reportedly darker and grittier that the rest of The CW's DC universe shows (Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow), Rose will play Bruce Wayne's lesbian cousin, Kate Kane, who takes over the superpowered responsibilities in his absence.
Batwoman's pilot episode is in production and hopefully coming Fall 2019.

Ellen Page stars in this upcoming series about a disbanded group of superheroes that reunite after their adoptive father, who trained them to save the world, dies.

Atypical
Brigette Lundy Paine plays Casey, the younger sister who's always looking out for her older brother living with autism.

We can't wait to see where this storyline goes!

Pose
If you're not watching Pose, you need to get your sh*t together. Ryan Murphy explores the grace of the 1980s New York ballroom scene, the heartbreak of the AIDS crisis, and the resilient humanity of queer Black and brown people in this jaw-dropping FX series that features television's largest cast of transgender actors.
