Woke Season 2 Is Now Streaming on Dekkoo

The acclaimed French LGBTQ+ series Woke is back on Dekkoo with its second season, bringing Hicham, Thibaut and the activists of Lyon’s G-Spot LGBTQ+ center back for another chapter filled with friendship, desire, politics and the sometimes complicated realities of queer activism.

When we first meet Hicham in Season 1, he leaves his sheltered life and family behind and heads to Lyon in search of Thibaut — the only openly gay man he knows, and someone who once tried to kiss him.

Through Thibaut, Hicham is introduced to the G-Spot, a lively LGBTQ+ center and the group of activists who call it home. What begins as Hicham’s search for another person gradually becomes something much bigger: a journey toward understanding his sexuality, finding a community and figuring out who he wants to be.

A New Chapter for Hicham

Season 2 picks up after Hicham has stepped away from both Thibaut and the G-Spot.

Then he meets Elijah.

Hicham spots him one night at a bar but misses his chance to talk to him. With a little help from Bastien, however, the two eventually reconnect — opening the door to a new chapter in Hicham’s personal life.

At the same time, things at the G-Spot are becoming increasingly complicated.

Thibaut finds himself answering for his recent actions while the future of the center itself hangs in the balance. The activists also begin organizing a Pride march centered on trans rights, a decision that exposes disagreements both inside and outside the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride, Politics and a Community Divided

Characters face conflict in Woke Season 2 on Dekkoo

One of the things that makes Woke stand apart from a more traditional gay drama is its willingness to let its characters disagree.

Season 2 explores tensions surrounding trans rights, asylum and immigration, feminism, religion and LGBTQ+ politics without forgetting that these debates affect the lives of actual people.

The proposed Pride march becomes one of the season’s central storylines. Local LGBT bar owners push back against the decision to focus the march on trans rights, while the G-Spot itself faces accusations of transphobia from a trans collective.

Meanwhile, Kenza faces possible deportation, forcing Thibaut and the others to confront another urgent fight taking place within their community.

These conflicts put friendships, alliances and even the future of the G-Spot under pressure.

Still Haven’t Seen Season 1?

This is definitely a series worth watching from the beginning.

Season 1 introduces Hicham, Thibaut and the activists at the G-Spot while following Hicham as he begins embracing his sexuality and discovering a queer community for the first time.

And because the episodes are short, Woke is an especially easy series to binge.

Season 2 includes ten episodes following Hicham, Thibaut and the rest of the G-Spot community as relationships change, political battles intensify and preparations for the Pride march force everyone to decide exactly what — and who — they are willing to fight for.

Playing Around: The Gay Dating Comedy Is Now Streaming Exclusively on Dekkoo

Dating is hard. Gay dating can be even harder. And trying to find Mr. Right before your 30th birthday? That’s a recipe for a full-blown romantic crisis.

Playing Around, a funny, sexy and refreshingly candid LGBTQ+ comedy from Colombia, is now streaming exclusively on Dekkoo.

Created, directed by and starring Colombian filmmaker James Camargo de Alba, Playing Around takes a humorous but heartfelt look at modern gay relationships — from ghosting and commitment issues to polyamory, hookups and the seemingly endless search for something real.

Meet Germán Andrés

Germán Andrés is 29, gay, works at a call center, lives with his mother and has never had a stable long-term relationship.

With 30 rapidly approaching, Germán starts feeling the pressure to get his romantic life together. His mission seems simple enough: find a boyfriend before his birthday.

Naturally, nothing about it is simple.

Navigating a dating landscape filled with ghosting, polyamory, commitment phobia and complicated expectations, Germán discovers that finding someone is one thing. Figuring out what you actually want from that person — and from yourself — is another.

The result is a gay romantic comedy that feels particularly connected to what dating looks like right now.

A Gay Comedy About More Than Finding a Boyfriend

What makes Playing Around particularly appealing is that underneath its comedy is a very recognizable question: Why can finding meaningful connection feel so difficult even when being gay has never been more visible?

Camargo de Alba has explained that he wanted the series to explore gay life beyond physical attraction and sexuality, focusing instead on Germán’s emotional world and his difficulties with vulnerability, relationships and social connection.

Those ideas give Playing Around plenty to explore.

Germán encounters questions surrounding monogamy and polyamory, fear of commitment, serodiscordant relationships, social media and the expectations gay men place on themselves and each other.

But Playing Around isn’t a lecture about modern relationships. It’s a comedy — and Germán frequently speaks directly to the audience, inviting us into his thoughts, insecurities and romantic misadventures.

The result is intimate, playful and highly bingeable.

A Fresh Gay Story From Colombia

Playing Around also adds another international voice to the growing world of LGBTQ+ storytelling.

Originally titled Soy Germán Andrés Yáñez (G.A.Y.), the Spanish-language series comes from Colombia and features a cast led by James Camargo de Alba alongside Obeida Benavides, Julio Pachón, Camilo Ávila, Daniel Castaño, Alejandra Colorado, Cristian Carvajal and José Miguel Ordoñez.

Camargo de Alba doesn’t just play Germán — he created the series, directed it and co-wrote it with Deimer Vergara Torres.

That gives Playing Around a distinctly personal perspective on contemporary gay life and relationships.

It’s also exactly the kind of international LGBTQ+ storytelling we love bringing to Dekkoo.

Ghosting, Hookups, Polyamory…and the Search for Mr. Right

There’s no shortage of movies and series about people looking for love. Playing Around stands out because its obstacles feel distinctly contemporary.

What does commitment look like when everyone seems to have different expectations?

Can you want a relationship while simultaneously being terrified of vulnerability?

What happens when the person you’re dating doesn’t want the same kind of relationship you do?

And at what point do you stop worrying about the timeline you imagined for your life?

Those questions give Playing Around an emotional core that should feel familiar to anyone who has ever opened a dating app hoping that this time things might be different.

If you enjoy the gay romance movies on Dekkoo, there’s plenty here to love — but Playing Around isn’t interested in presenting romance as effortless.

The awkwardness, false starts and uncertainty are part of the fun.

If you’re searching for where to stream Playing Around, you’ve come to the right place.

Playing Around is now available to stream exclusively on Dekkoo.
