Every time we turn on the TV, open a platform or get hooked on a reality show, we encounter something that goes far beyond entertainment: we seek to feel reflected. We look for stories that are, at least a little bit, similar to ours. And in 2025, the good news is that LGTBIQ+ content is no longer so rare to see… but there is still a long way to go.
This year is full of interesting proposals: some that move us, others that make us laugh (and cry at the same time), and several that make us shout: “finally someone said it!” So if you’re looking for what to watch on your nights on the couch or at your next marathon, here’s a queer selection that’s rocking it. And, of course, we tell you where to see them from Spain.
1. “Heartstopper” (Season 3)
Available on: Netflix
Yes, it comes back. And with more kisses, more drama and more real emotional representation of queer adolescence. Charlie and Nick continue to steal our hearts with a story that, although sweet and tender, does not shy away from complicated topics: mental health, consent, coming out at your own pace.
Why does it represent us? Because it shows healthy queer love, without falling into unnecessary tragedies.
2. “Drag Race Spain All Stars”
Available in: Atresplayer Premium
Be careful, there are curves! The most iconic queens from the first three editions return to show that drag talent in Spain has no ceiling. Between wigs, drama and a lot of lip-syncing, there is also room for emotion, activism and personal stories.
Why watch it? Because drag is not just art, it is also identity, criticism and resistance.
3. “Young Royals” (Final Season)
Available on: Netflix
Prince Wilhelm and his tortuous love story with Simon reaches its highest (or lowest?) point. This Swedish series has been one of the favorites of the young queer collective for its realism, its emotional intensity and its soundtrack.
Why does it touch us so much? Because it talks about loving freely, even when the system forces you to hide it.
4. “Break your voice”
Available in: Filmin
This Spanish documentary follows several trans adolescents during their vocal transition processes. With sensitivity and without falling into morbidity, “Rompe la voz” talks about how something as everyday as your tone can define your identity (or make it invisible).
Does it represent us? More than you think. Because it makes visible a reality that is little discussed, but very vivid.
5. “Euphoria” (Season 3)
Available on: HBO Max
Okay, it is a series with so many camera effects that it is sometimes dizzying, but no one can deny that it has marked a before and after in how bodies and identities are represented. Jules (played by Hunter Schafer) remains an icon.
Why is she engaging? Because she mixes rawness with the poetic. And because he doesn’t treat us like secondary characters.
6. “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” (Season 2)
Available on: Netflix
Yes, it’s a reality show. Yes, there is drama. And yes, the entire cast is queer. This social experiment where one of the two people in the couple demands marriage or a breakup becomes even more intense with non-heteronormative dynamics.
Is it going to catch you? Totally. Although sometimes you wonder if what you see is real (spoiler: it is).
7. “The Javis present: Transition”
Available in: Atresplayer Premium (premiere April 2025)
A docuseries where Los Javis (yes, again) give voice to real stories of trans people in different generations in Spain. From the dictatorship to TikTok. It is shaping up to be an emotional and educational bomb.
Why watch it anyway? Because it makes silenced realities visible and, above all, listen.
8. “Our Flag Means Death” (Season 2)
Available on: HBO Max
An absurd pirate comedy with gay romance, non-binary characters and a very Tumblr aesthetic. Do I need to say more? It’s as if someone had mixed “Pirates of the Caribbean” with your favorite fanfic.
What does it contribute? That queerness can also be fun, without the need for trauma or suffering.
9. “A Simple Lie”
Available on: Prime Video
A British miniseries with a lesbian theme that combines thriller, love and family secrets. It’s not perfect, but it gives visibility to relationships between women without the entire plot revolving around the coming out.
The hidden gem of the year? Maybe. Sometimes what represents us most is where we least expect it.
10. “Everything Else” (Season 2)
Available on: HBO Max
Created by Abril Zamora, this series returns with more stories of friendship, heartbreak and existential crises in a millennial key. And yes, it is still a rarity: a Spanish comedy-drama written, directed and starring a trans woman.
Why does it matter? Because it is genuine, imperfect and very much ours.
🎭 But… is it enough that there is representation?
Let’s stop for a moment. Because yes, we are seeing more characters, more plots, more rainbows on screen. But how much of that representation is real and deep? How many stories are written by queer people and not just performed by them? The risk of falling into “audiovisual pinkwashing” is real, especially when platforms seek profitability rather than sincere diversity. So be careful: let’s celebrate, yes, but with a critical spirit. Because it’s not just about seeing us, but about being heard and letting us tell our own stories.
📺 So… what do we see tonight?
Whatever you want. But let it make you feel something. May it inspire you, make you laugh, move you or simply hug you on a difficult day. Because queer content is not a genre. It’s a perspective, a look. And luckily, there are more and more people watching (and creating) from there.
And if any series, movie or reality show makes you feel more yourself, freer or more understood… then it is worth gold. Even if it is with an ending that you don’t like. Or with a character that you dislike.
Because, in the end, who hasn’t needed to see each other to begin to understand each other?
