Streaming Queer: January 2025

"The Traitors" Season 3

Hosted by the legendary Alan Cumming, this Emmy Award-winning competition series returns to the Scottish Highlands, bringing reality TV icons and celebrities together for the "psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game." Contestants who are selected to be Traitors must hide in plain sight, "killing off" their peers in the least suspicious way possible, and those left to be Faithfuls must stop accusing each other of secretly being Traitors long enough to banish all the Traitors and earn their share of the $250,000 prize. We're so looking forward to watching queer reality stars Bob the Drag Queen, Chrishell Stause, and Gabby Windey fight for their lives by building and breaking alliances all season long.

"The Traitors" Season 3 premieres January 9 on Peacock.

"XO Kitty" Season 2

This second season of the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" spin-off reunites us with bisexual lead Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) at KISS, the fictional international school in Seoul, South Korea. Last season, Kitty had both male and female love interests, which complicated her already messy (though entertaining) coming-of-age experience, and got her into some very stylish but scandalous situations. The sapphic spark in Kitty's life was fellow student Yuri Han, who already has a secret girlfriend at KISS (played by queer actor Regan Aliyah). This season, Kitty's "single and ready for a drama-free fresh start" and she wants to try dating girls, even though she's not over Yuri. "But," the synopsis reads, "she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother's past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change." The cast includes Anthony Keyvan ("Love, Victor") as Q, one of KISS' few openly gay students. Noah Centineo will cameo this season, reprising his role as "To All the Boys" dreamboat Peter Kavinsky, who is dating Kitty's sister, Lara Jean.

"XO Kitty" Season 2 premieres January 16 on Netflix.
