    21 Queer TV Shows and Movies Coming In August 2022

    The Sandman, RuPaul\u2019s Secret Celebrity Drag Race, They/Them

    It’s hot outside and one of the best ways to beat the heat is by slipping into a movie theater or cozying up by the air conditioner and catching up on all your returning and new queer characters on TV and in the movies. And when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation on the small and big screen, August is bringing the heat.

    Here are all the queer and queer-inclusive television series and movies you won’t want to miss in August.

    All film and series descriptions are courtesy of their respective studios and networks.

    'Reservation Dogs' (Season 2) - August 3

    'Reservation Dogs' (Season 2) - August 3

    Season two picks up after the disbanding of the gang at the end of season one. Elora ghosted Bear and took off for California with the Rez Dogs’ mortal enemy, “Jackie” (Elva Guerra), the leader of a rival gang. Abandoned by his closest friend, Bear seeks a male parental figure to teach him how to “be a man” – but his choice of uncles to emulate leaves a lot to be desired. Meanwhile, Willie Jack thinks everything in their town is falling apart because of the curse she cast on Jackie and she’s determined to put that genie back in the bottle.  Cheese who, like Willie Jack, decided that Cali wasn’t for him, reunites with his grandmother who isn’t his grandmother.

    Reservation Dogs premieres on Hulu on August 3.

    'Bodies Bodies Bodies' - August 5

    Bodies Bodies Bodies - August 5

    'The Outlaws' (Season 2) - August 5

Picking up a few months after the climax of Season One, in Season Two, the Outlaws still have time to serve on their sentences, but quickly realize the criminal underworld isn’t done with them yet—not by a long shot.
