About Queer as Folk

This wiki follows the three versions of the groundbreaking queer television series Queer as Folk:

The original series, which aired 1999-2000 on Channel 4, followed the lives of Stuart Alan Jones, Vince Tyler and Nathan Maloney, three gay men living in Manchester. Queer as Folk, although superficially a realistic depiction of gay urban life in the 1990s, is meant as a fantasy, and that Stuart, Vince, and Nathan are not so much characters as gay male archetypes.

Quickly after, the American adaptation was commissioned and released on Showtime. It aired for five years from 2000-2005, and followed the lives of Brian Kinney, Justin Taylor, Michael Novotny, Emmett Honeycutt, Ted Schmidt and their friends. Focusing on the loves, careers, ambitions and relationships of a group of gay men and women, in this compelling and graphically-realistic drama filled with strong dialogue, witty comedy, and provocatively sexual detail.

In 2021, it was announced that a reboot would be arriving in 2022, commissioned and released on Peacock. The first season dropped on the ninth of June 2022 and consisted of eight episodes. It follows a diverse group of friends in New Orleans who find their lives transformed in the aftermath of shooting at a queer nightclub called the Babylon. The group struggles with vulnerability, addiction, grief, and relationships.
