The Other Black Girl premieres on Hulu on September 13.
The Morning Show – September 13
Season 1 of The Morning Show was top-notch dramatic television, but the show surpassed my wildest dreams in season 2 when it included a sapphic storyline. Season 3 of this workplace drama about sexual misconduct in the newsroom returns on Apple TV on September 13 and will feature queer talent like Natalie Morales and Tig Notaro.
Theater Camp – September 14
I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud as much as I did when I saw the mockumentary comedy Theater Camp in theaters this past July. This LGBTQ-inclusive film stars Ben Platt, Molly Gordon, and Noah Galvin as the staff of a kids’ theater camp in upstate New York, and follows their journey to save the camp from being destroyed. Theater Camp will be released on Hulu on September 14.

Cassandro will be released in theaters on September 15 and will be begin streaming on Amazon Prime on September 22.

American Horror Story: Delicate premieres on FX on September 20 and on Hulu the next day.

If you’re looking to fill a Heartstopper-sized hole in your heart, I might suggest its raunchier counterpart, Sex Education, a British teen comedy with a large cast of queer characters. Gillian Anderson stars in the show as sex therapist Jean Milburn, whose son Otis starts a sex clinic at his high school. The fourth and final season of Sex Education premieres on Netflix on September 21.
