March 2025: What’s New, Gay and Streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Max, Paramount+, Prime Video and Peacock

March is upon us, and with it comes…a somewhat paltry offering of new LGBTQ streaming content, but here we are! The few things we are getting are fun at least, like a second season of Survival of the Thickest as well as a four-part docuseries about the National Women’s Soccer League and a Lena Waithe guest arc on Grey’s Anatomy.

Also, I just wanted to shout out a series that debuted in February that we didn’t get a chance to highlight (it happens! we really do our due diligence to try to find every lesbian/bisexual/sapphic show, but it’s harder than you think!): Southern Hospitality on Bravo (and streaming on Peacock) has always had gay men in its cast, but this season added a Black bisexual woman. So if queer reality television is your thing, get into it.


Netflix’s LGBTQ+ March 2025

SURVIVAL OF THE THICKEST SEASON 2. (L to R) Tasha Smith as Marley and Jerrie Johnson as Daphne in Episode 203 of Survival of the Thickest, Season 2. Cr. Vanessa Clifton/Netflix © 2024

The Residence // Season One // March 20

While there aren’t any confirmed queer women characters on this new Shondaland joint (surprising, given Shondaland’s history!), it’s set in a world where the President of the United States (Paul Fitzgerald) is a gay man with a husband (Barrett Foa). The series is a mystery about a murder scandal that involves the staff of the White House. Uzo Aduba plays the central detective, Cordelia Cupp.

Survival of the Thickest // Season Two // March 27

Tasha Smith’s Marley is back in season two of Survival of the Thickest, and hopefully we’ll get to see her explore more of her bisexuality this season! Based on promo images, it looks like Jerrie Johnson could be playing a love interest for her.


Hulu’s New March 2025 Queer Content

Grey’s Anatomy // Season 21B Premiere // ABC // March 6

In extremely exciting news for the gays, Lena Waithe has joined this season of Grey’s Anatomy in a small role. After the devastating arc for Jules and Mika in the front half of the season, I’m sure we can expect more sapphic heartbreaks at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

9-1-1 // Season 8B Premiere // Fox // March 6

In the first half of season eight from the end of 2024, resident gays Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Karen (Tracie Thoms) got their foster daughter back, so we’ll be keeping an eye on how that plays out in this second half of the season.

Wheel of Time // Season Three // March 13

Rosamund Pike promised after last season of Wheel of Time that there would be even more Moiraine/Siuan narrative in the next season, and well, the next season is finally here! In the action-packed teaser for the new season of the high fantasy series, the two characters can indeed be seen kissing (blink and you’ll miss it, but it’s around 0:49 if you’re so inclined).

The Amazing Race // Season 37 // CBS // March 5

Contestants in the new season of The Amazing Race include Courtney Ramsey (a 34-year-old registered nurse) and Jasmin Carey (a 34-year-old nurse practitioner) who are a queer Black couple from Wilmington, North Carolina. The season — which will air on CBS and be available to stream on Paramount+ — also features a gay male married couple.
