The show is officially set to kick off on Thursday, June 9, and hails from creator, writer, and director Stephen Dunn who executive produces the drama alongside original British series creator Davies and writer Jaclyn Moore. In this new iteration, the action is set among a diverse group of friends in New Orleans who have their lives transformed in the aftermath of tragedy.
Queer as Folk has had many lives, first as a British series about gays in Manchester from 1999-2000, then an American series set in Pittsburgh on Showtime from 2000 to 2005, and now, it moves to New Orleans for a new run on Peacock.
Queer as Folk premieres on Peacock June 9, and will feature a cavalcade of guest stars including Kim Cattrall, Juliette Lewis, Ed Begley, Jr., Lukas Gage, and Nyle DiMarco.
