Follow Latino Gays Living in LA in the New Series StrangeLove

There’s a new gay TV show on the horizon, and it offers something we haven’t seen yet. Award-winning indie filmmaker Jorge Xolalpa gives us a new comedy Strangelove, about a group of gay Latino millennials living in Los Angeles. It’s giving Noah’s Arc vibes, it’s giving Looking, and, of course, Sex and the City.

Inspired by Jorge Xolalpa’s real-life experiences as a Mexican immigrant living in LA, the six-episode series follows four friends living in the City of Angels, their love lives, and their sex lives. Oh yeah, we are getting some real sex scenes created by men who have sex with men. The trailer basically begins with sex. And it’s airing on Amazon Prime, so my fingers are crossed for full frontal.

“Strangelove is a labor of love that aims to showcase the joys and challenges faced by queer men in Los Angeles,” Xolalpa said in a statement. “It’s a story that hasn’t been told in quite this way before, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Strangelove premieres in LA at Hollywood’s legendary Chinese Theater (get it, girls!) on September 12. Then it will be available to stream at home on Amazon Prime Video beginning September 19 or YouTube or Vimeo for viewers outside America. Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by meeting your new favorite group of gays.

Strangelove stars Alexis Vazquez, Raury Rolander, Brandon Baez, and Eddie Segura as the core group of friends. The trailer looks fun, and it looks real. This feels like me and my millennial friends hanging in LA — threesomes, drag shows, and crying. Typical weekend. It’s hard to tell what archetypes we are getting in terms of who’s the Samantha, the Miranda, etc. But it does appear we have a guy in a relationship, a sugar daddy chaser, a guy committed to work, and a sexy man I need to know more about ASAP. (I’ll be doing some light research on Instagram later.)

Stream Strangelove on Amazon Prime starting September 19.
