Get ready for some great queer TV!

Now that both the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild strikes are both officially over, we’re going to start seeing some of our favorite shows coming back to TV. Just how soon they’ll come back is up for some debate, though

Networks and streamers are starting to announce premiere dates for the upcoming year, with some even putting out teasers for shows that won’t premiere for another 12 months after that.

Here's some information on when some of our favorite queer shows will be returning to our screens!
