The new gay series The Hosts explores the intimate and often complicated interactions that occur before and after sexual encounters with strangers.
After a painful breakup from a long-term, open relationship, Jason (Ben Odom) decides to use a popular hook-up app to reintegrate himself into the gay dating scene.
This ten-episode series documents his ten different hook-up experiences, capturing the vulnerabilities and fraught dynamics that exist in these encounters, told with a larger story through the individual perspectives of the “host” characters – meaning the different strangers whose apartments Jason visits.
Featuring a wide array of New York-based talent both behind and in front of the camera, creator, writer, executive producer and lead actor Ben Odom has fashioned a unique, funny, sexy and often alarmingly relatable look at how we modern gay men present ourselves in the bedroom.
Watch the trailer for The Hosts below. All ten episodes of the first season are available now on Dekkoo!
