Peacock is shutting the doorways to Babylon (once more), cancelling its Queer as Folk reboot after only one season.
Series creator Stephen Dunn shared the information late Friday on Instagram, saying, “It’s a uncommon present in these occasions, and on this nation, to have the ability to make a present as fearless and unapologetic as ‘Queer As Folk’. This expertise modified our lives endlessly and we’re so grateful to have discovered this unimaginable new household. But at present we obtained the disappointing information that we’re not getting a second season.
“We know how much it’s meant to the fans,” Dunn continued, (*2*)
Queer as Folk‘s eight-episode first (and now only)season hit Peacock in full on Thursday, June 9. It’s/It was the third sequence to bear the Queer as Folk title, following the unique UK sequence (1999–2000) and the US model (2000–2005).
The sequence starred Devin Way as med college dropout Brodie Beaumont, Fin Argus as non-binary teen Mingus, Jesse James Keitel as English instructor Ruthie O’Neil, Ryan O’Connell as Brodie’s also-gay brother Julian Beaumont, Johnny Sibilly as Brodie’s ex-boyfriend Noah Hernandez and CG as Ruthie’s accomplice Shar.
Other key solid members included Kim Cattrall as Brodie and Julian’s eccentric mom Brenda Beaumont, Ed Begley Jr. as Brenda’s husband Winston Beaumont and Juliette Lewis as Mingus’ free-spirited mom Judy. Additional Season 1 visitor stars included Nyle DiMarco, Big Freedia and Lukas Gage.
