In case you missed it, the cast and crew of the upcoming Dekkoo-original series ‘Poster Boys’ shared the photo above to their social media accounts. It was taken just after wrapping production on the final episodes of season one.
As we announced last week, ‘Paper Boys’ season one will arrive on Dekkoo in 2018.
Be sure to follow Paper Boys on twitter.
We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired the rights to the amazing, ingenious, inventive and downright perfect ‘Paper Boys‘ to expand the series into a full-fledged Dekkoo-original series.
‘Paper Boys’ is a gay romantic fantasy-dramedy about discovering who you are, and with a newly found magical power, becoming who you want to be.
Check out the announcement below that co-creators Curtis Casella, Kyle Cabral and some of the cast shot while preparing to shoot new episodes for Dekkoo:
Here’s just a few quotes about this inventive series:
“Paper Boys is a delightful new web series that takes the sometimes harsh reality of being a confused millennial trying to juggle love, a career, and a new city, and spices it up with a bit of magic to make it all the more captivating.” – The Huffington Post
“It’s fun, sexy and a unique way to look at the gay world of twentysomethings.” – HeSaid Magazine
“It…does impressive cinematic justice on a small budget, but more importantly it feels relatable for combining gay and straight characters into something resembling real life.” – Queerty
You can check out the first two episodes of the series now over at the ‘Paper Boys’ web site until the complete first season of ‘Paper Boys’ becomes available exclusively on Dekkoo in 2018.
A wonderful piece about Dekkoo appeared on the Huff Post earlier this week. The article discusses our dedication to the success of our collaborations with filmmakers (like our partnership with creator Pablo Andreu and his series STRAY) and our mission of bringing gay audiences programming that, in many cases, can’t be found on any other digital platform.
