No Season 2 for the reimagined drama.
September 23, 2022
Word is out that Queer As Folk has been cancelled by Peacock after just one season. Creator Stephen Dunn broke the news on Instragram Friday evening, less than four months after the drama released its eight-episode freshman run.
"It's a rare gift in these times, and in this country, to be able to make a show as fearless and unapologetic as Queer As Folk," wrote Dunn. "This experience changed our lives forever and we're so grateful to have found this incredible new family. But today we received the disappointing news that we're not getting a second season. We know how much it's meant to the fans and while we're heartbroken we won't get to make more episodes, we wanna thank everyone for watching and falling in love with Brodie, Mingus, Ruthie, Noah, Shar, Julian, Daddius, Bussey, Marvin, Judy and Brenda."
A reimagining of the groundbreaking 1999 British series of the same name, the hour-long series follows a diverse group of friends in New Orleans who have their lives transformed by a tragedy that occurs in their community. The show received a positive reception from critics.

OH, you think cause you towed their line, pushed their agenda, snitched on the right people, that you will be in their elite ruling class circle? Sorry to tell you but youre just like the people you disparage in society right now. Those in real power dont give a rats ass about those that help them achieve their goals. Youll be down here subject to the social credit system like the rest of us.
On the off chance youre referring to end of times in the biblical sense, I think its you thats gonna be disappointed cause your vision for that isnt gonna happen either.
Someone is not an idiot for suggesting this show is woke even when they haven't seen it. Correct, there is nothing in the description that makes it woke. But in this age of the woke, in control, it's fair to assume that a show like this is probably from woke creators and backers. Maybe there's no wokeness about it, but that's unlikely. I believe the overwhelming philosophy and subsequent storylines are that all the non-straight are victims of bad people. Much of the victim part can even be true (especially the nightclub slaughter) but that doesn't make the continuous victim cry not woke. Woke is all about using the victim card for everything. Everyone is a victim is more ways that you might realize, but too much playing the victim is being a loser.
@fake Sam LOL @ your whole rant. None of this was about race at all until you brought it up.but as usual lefties gonna strawman. Woke has always been the new "politically correct". If you think its just about caring about the treatment of others youre the one mistaken. That ship has sailed long ago. Now its about not just tolerance, acceptance. Now its about shoving it your face and if you dont like that then youre a bigot that must have your social media, career, life all ruined. If you have kids and the school wants to trans your kid, you better accept it or youre a bigot and they will use the force of the state to remove the child from your custody. Thats the new woke. Woke is about dismantling society not treating people equally.
If we REALLY treated people EQUALLY these snowflake groups would all cry discrimination because theyre used to all this special attention now. USE MY PRONOUNS IVE CHOSEN 5 MINUTES AGO OR GET FINED BY THE CITY, BIGOT (Yes its a thing in NY)
I bet the ouchy, weird ones could use your support too. Try to stop all the self-referential love, and beating dead horses. If you love multi-all, throw some support to the autistic. And high functioners.
It ain't all about sex and identifying. some people are physically limited and smarter than... who?
They have quotas that they have to meet now. Awards cannot be given if you do not meet a quota. That's not me saying it; that's literally the rule they set up.
I wish they hadn't because then I could maybe enjoy watching new shows. But if we're just going to be preached at simply for exisiting and not falling in line with their every demand, the BS needs to be called out.
