To honor the start of Pride Month, here’s a roundup of excellent movies, shows, and specials on Peacock that highlight stories of queer people living, loving, becoming rockstars, investigating murders, and so much more.  

1. Booksmart (2019) 

Booksmart is easily one of the greatest coming-of-age movies of the last decade. From the unbearably uncomfy ride share scene to the blossoming romance between baby gay Amy and a classmate, it’s packed with laughs and sweet moments of queer joy. Also: Lisa Kudrow and Will Forte as Amy’s overly supportive parents might be the most perfect casting of the whole film.

2. Queer as Folk (2022) 

Peacock’s Queer as Folk reimagines the 1999 series in a vibrant New Orleans community that’s struggling to pick up the pieces after a mass shooting. Between the drag wrestling and Mardi Gras floats, it’s a fun yet powerful watch with reminders of the trauma and loss many LGBTQIA+ folks grapple with in the wake of targeted attacks. The series stars Fin Argus, who has recently been a standout guest star on the latest season of The Other Two

3. Vigil (2021) 

In the Peacock Original series Vigil, Scottish Police Service Detective Amy Silva (Suranne Jones of Gentleman Jack) must investigate a mysterious death aboard the HMS Vigil, a ballistic missile submarine that can never rise to the water’s surface for long, lest it be seen by enemy spies. Silva grapples with guilt from a traumatic event as she leaves her girlfriend (Rose Leslie, of Game of Thrones fame) for whatever awaits her beneath the sea. It’s a tense, claustrophobic British police procedural that cannot be missed.

4. Of an Age (2022) 

Set during the summer of 1999 in Australia, Of an Age chronicles the intense, 24-hour romance between a young Serbian ballroom dancer named Kol and his friend’s older brother. It’s a story that illustrates how coming out to oneself can both upend our reality and open a whole new world — in this case, one where Kol immediately tumbles into a whirlwind of queer love.

5. Leopard Skin (2022) 

Peacock Original series Leopard Skin tells the riveting, often steamy story of a diamond heist gone wrong. At the beginning of the crime thriller, thieves storm a seaside mansion in Mexico and hold four women hostage — a guest, a maid, and two former wives of a dead rich guy whose current relationship to each other is unclear. Are they roommates? Lovers? Who’s to say!

6. They/Them (2022)

They/Them (pronounced “they slash them”) mines the horror of conversion therapy and yields a campy thriller. A group of teens must try to survive as a masked killer carves a bloody path through a creepy summer camp, all while the program’s director — played by a very spooky Kevin Bacon — tries to torment away their identities. Crucially, the Peacock Original is written and directed by Oscar® nominee John Logan, who is openly gay himself, and showcases authentic and inclusive LGBTQIA+ talent. ”The movie is about celebrating their uniqueness and their queerness,“ John Logan told TheWrap.

7. The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) 

With the amazing Desiree Akhavan (who recently directed episodes of Hacks and Ramy) at the helm, it’s guaranteed The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a winner. It can be difficult to say something new about gay conversation therapy, a well-trodden topic in queer cinema, but this film handles the subject with grace and sensitivity as the titular character tries to hold onto her identity in the face of those pursuing its annihilation.

8. If We're Being Honest... with Laverne Cox (2023) 

Some might know Laverne Cox from her role as Sophia on Orange Is the New Black, but her reach extends far beyond that series — Cox is an absolute icon and a longtime advocate for the trans community. In her new show If We’re Being Honest, she delves into topics like beauty, privilege, and success with influential voices like Yvonne Orji and Nicole Byer.

9. Jobriath A.D. (2012) 

The year after David Bowie released the hit album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, a lesser-known rising star named Jobriath released his self-titled album of similarly gender-bending glam rock. Unlike Bowie, Jobriath was the first openly gay rock musician to be signed to a major label, but his career was short-lived due to audiences who weren’t ready to accept his sexuality. This excellent doc chronicles Jobriath’s life and untimely death while finally giving him the spotlight he always deserved.

10. White Rabbit (2018) 

White Rabbit is a severely underrated film about a Korean-American performance artist (played by Vivian Bang) struggling to stay afloat in Los Angeles as she bounces from one humiliating job to the next. Her public monologues take her from the notorious Silver Lake grocery store to Echo Park Lake, where she meets a critic and love interest named Victoria who finally makes her feel seen.

11. Women Who Kill (2019) 

Playing off the recent popularity of the true crime genre, Women Who Kill centers on Morgan and Jean, ex-girlfriends and co-hosts of a famous podcast about female murderers. After suspicions arise that Morgan’s new flame could be a local serial killer, chaos ensues. It’s a hilarious and paranoid commentary on America’s obsession with (and monetization of) tragic true crime cases.

12. Would It Kill You to Laugh? (2022) 

In this bizarre, hilarious, hour-long special that Vulture called “a monument to surrealist queer pettiness,” dynamic comedy-duo Kate Berlant and John Early play future versions of themselves. However, instead of being best friends, they’re estranged ex-sitcom stars (He’s Gay, She’s Half-Jewish!) and reuniting for the first time in years during a TV event moderated by Meredith Vieira. The special breaks out into an assortment of fun sketches, which inexplicably includes a recurring bit with caramel currency and a scam-susceptible family of beavers at the airport.
