The full first season of ‘Thirty’ is now available on Dekkoo

Created by celebrated community strategist and social entrepreneur Dontá Morrison, adapted from his own novel ‘The End of the Rainbow,’ Thirty is a brand-new 7-episode series that pushes boundaries.

The show intricately explores the lives of Tyrin and Khalil (Brandon Moten and Bobby Musique Cooks), a Black, same-gender-loving couple. When a situation arises that throws them into a whirlwind of betrayal and heartbreak, it threatens to unravel their seemingly perfect relationship.

As their love story takes an unexpected turn, everyone in Tyrin and Khalil’s orbit seems to get caught in the crossfire. Friendships are questioned, faith is put to the test and prayers are soon answered in the most unexpected of ways.

With a compelling storyline and a talented ensemble cast, Thirty promises to captivate viewers from start to finish.

Don’t miss the delightfully insane (and insanely funny) new queer comedy series ‘Marque and Hector’

We’ve seen generations of cisgender men playing trans women in media. Maybe it’s time we flip the script and let a trans woman play a cisgender man for once!

Welcome to the hilarious world of Marque and Hector, a brand-new, hysterically funny web series in which gender norms have been torn to shreds and put together ass-backwards.

Joslyn DeFreece stars as Marque, an aging gay queen who is thirsty for YouTube fame and enlists the help of his dumb-as-a-bucket houseboy Hector (played by Linus Ignatius) in his mission to conquer the interwebs.

Woefully stupid, but gifted with a heart of gold, Hector proudly serves as Marque’s Vanna White, his magician’s assistant and his punching bag. The only problem? Marque bungles everything he touches — including his hopes and dreams.

In an age where representation is so sensitive and some productions feel like they’re only allowed to portray LGBTQ+ characters in a heroic light, this joyously demented comedy series is here to remind everyone that trans, queer and gender-noncomforming people are still allowed to be funny as hell!

Watch the trailer for Marque and Hector below. The full 5-episode first season is now streaming on Dekkoo.

BOY CULTURE: GENERATION X – Now available to rent or own!

From creators Q. Allan Brocka and Matthew Rettenmund, this massively exciting Dekkoo-original follows up the 2006 gay indie hit Boy Culture!

The brand-new Boy Culture: Generation X picks up ten years after the original, following hard-working male escort X as he finds himself up against a much younger generation – who have gained a competitive edge on the market.

X is soon taken under the wind of Chayce, a barely-legal twink who is ruthlessly up to speed on how to sell himself to clients in the digital age. As he struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of kinky clients happy, he is also dealing with the realities of living with his ex-boyfriend Andrew, who is aiming to move on from the former romantic entanglement.

Returning to the format of the novel, on which the original Boy Culture was based, each episodic segment of this sexy new installment features a trick from which X learns – or specifically fails to learn – a lesson. Derek Magyar and Darryl Stephens, the stars of the original film, are back and surrounded by many new faces.

Older, wiser and more incisive than ever, Boy Culture: Generation X has a lot to say about love, sex, relationships and aging gracefully in a culture that often values youthful good looks above all else. It’s also hysterically funny!

Boy Culture: Generation X is now available to rent or buy on Dekkoo.com and from all major VOD platforms. It will be available on Dekkoo as part of the subscription plan in 2024! Check out the trailer below.

A new season of ‘After Forever’ is available now on Dekkoo!

Co-created by Emmy-nominated TV writer and playwright Michael Slade and actor-writer Kevin Spirtas, the moving drama series After Forever follows Brian and Jason, a 50-something gay couple living in New York City who appear to have it all… until they don’t.

Season Two picks up six months after the end of Season One. Brian has a new relationship and a new job, but Jason is still very present in his life. These eight new episodes continue his and his friends’ journey of love, loss and moving on.

Winner of six Emmy Awards, After Forever is a funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming and ultimately empowering series that will resonate with audiences of all ages and sexual identities as it explores relationships, healing and new beginnings.

Multiple characters intersect in the new eight-part British anthology series ‘Patterns’

There’s something for everyone in Patterns, an exciting new British anthology series.

Like a cross between Sex Education and Black Mirror, each episode of Patterns tells a full self-contained story, but they all take place in the same universe. A minor character in one episode may reappear as the lead in another and vice-versa. It’s an ambitious format, playfully executed by director Rex Glensy and writers Daniel Mannheim and Asad Moghal.

Stories include Reverse Catfish, about a hot young rugby player who finds that people only date him for his good looks and sets about trying to change their perception. SuperBen follows an imaginative boy who gets up close and personal with his superhero crush. Delivered is about a hungry young man on an oppressive diet who becomes unusually obsessed with his pizza delivery guy. And there are many more episodes where those came from.

Catch up on all the action in this charming and refreshingly sex-positive new comedy series. The full first season of Patterns is available now on Dekkoo and a second season is currently in the works! Watch the trailer below.

Dekkoo Acquires Groundbreaking Gay Series ‘Boy Culture: Generation X’

We are thrilled to announce that Dekkoo has acquired the exclusive, worldwide distribution rights for Boy Culture: Generation X – the long-anticipated follow up to the 2006 gay indie hit from director Q. Allan Brocka and novelist Matthew Rettenmund!

This brand-new series will pick up the story ten years later. X (Derek Magyar), still a hardworking male escort, finds himself competing against younger trade in a dramatically changed marketplace. Luckily, Chayce (Jason Caceres), a Gen Z twink who is ruthlessly up to speed on selling sex in the digital age, is there to show X the ropes… but what is this demon twink’s agenda?

Meanwhile, as X struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of clients happy, he is also trying to move on from ex-boyfriend Andrew (Darryl Stephens), with whom he, of course, still lives.

“I never dreamed, when I began writing what would become Boy Culture as a college kid, that the story would continue with a movie and now a series,” Rettenmund said. “Revisiting these characters with this incredible cast has been a joy. I am filled with pride over this latest exciting (trust me!) chapter in the saga, and am thrilled to have such a supportive partner in Dekkoo.”

“It’s been an amazing experience to reunite the whole team that made the original film,” added co-creator and director Brocka.

We can’t wait to share this new series with fans of the original film and with the world at large. Just as the gay community has evolved, so too has Boy Culture. This exciting sequel showcases an incredibly talented new cast of actors and captures the essence of contemporary gay life in all its complexities.
