Exclusive: Emmy nominee Rain Valdez (Razor Tongue) on Monday announced the launch of Rainbow Entertainment, an equity-centered and trans-led production company focused on elevating Bipoc and queer storytellers, both in front of and behind the camera.

Aiming to help create a new Hollywood, marked by accessibility, diversity, and equity, Rainbow Entertainment is currently in the process of financing When Jupiter Returns, Mahal, an indie rom-com expected to enter production in August. The film written, directed by and starring Valdez watches as Mahal, an impulsive and unknowingly lovable, Filipino trans woman, confronts the universe after the sudden death of her sister, only to meet Aarush, a mysterious inventor. As they fall in love, despite the universe’s prophecy, Mahal grapples with the question: Do we create our own destiny, or is it all fated in the stars?

When Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels thinks of those who inspired him, Patrik-Ian Polk easily comes to mind.

Known for telling groundbreaking stories centered on Black gay life — including the independent film Punks, which premiered at Sundance in 2000, and Noah’s Arc, which ran on Logo TV for two seasons from 2005-06 — Polk is a creative force who has chronicled (and continues to chronicle) the lives of underrepresented people while championing diversity way before “Dei” became a buzz term.

“[Polk] was way ahead of the curve, and he took the bullets for all of us when it just wasn’t accepted to do what he was doing,” Daniels, 63, says of Polk, 49. “His bravery is what I ran with in my career. I learned from Patrik that I wasn’t going to take no for an answer. When I say he really has inspired me — he’s a mentor.”

Polk has been a bold...

“Noah’s Arc,” the two-season Logo dramedy about four gay friends navigating the highs and lows of Los Angeles, is planning its return, according to the show’s creator — but not on the pioneering cable network where it first ran.

While accepting an award at the SpeakOut I Am Awards, “Noah’s Arc” creator Patrik-Ian Polk said, “I’m very happy to confirm that there is indeed more ‘Noah’s Arc’ coming.”

Gayemagazine.com has a video of Polk’s statements at the event.

The revival was also confirmed by Darryl Stephens, who played the titular Noah on the series, in a since-deleted tweet that TheWrap captured.

“[In] case you haven’t already heard… there’s a movie and it’s coming soon,” Stephens tweeted, posting a meme of Tiffany Pollard with the “Noah’s Arc” logo on top as well as an image of MTV’s logo. Stephens’ tweet was the first indication that...

CBS has canceled comedy series “B Positive” after two seasons.

Executive produced by Chuck Lorre, “B Positive” starred Annaleigh Ashford as Gina, a hard-partying woman with a checkered past who, on a whim, decided to offer up her kidney to a former high school acquaintance, Drew (Thomas Middleditch), a recently-divorced therapist and single dad undergoing kidney failure.

During the process, Gina discovers that the happiness she’d been seeking all along could be found in the form of giving, so upon inheriting a surprise windfall of money from a patient at Valley Hills, the assisted living facility where she works, she decides it’s time to make a big change in a positive direction.

The first season of the multi-cam comedy premiered Nov. 5, 2020, with the second debuting Oct. 7 of last year.

Along with Ashford and Middleditch, “B Positive” starred Kether Donohue as Gabby, Sara Rue as Julia, Izzy G. as Maddie,...

Outfest is launching The OutFronts, a five-day virtual festival that is designed to connect fans with the best in queer episodic television, setting a lineup that includes talent from shows like VH1’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, HBO Max’s It’s a Sin, OWN’s David Makes Man, Freeform’s Everything’s Gonna Be Okay and Showtime’s The L Word: Generation Q.

This bodes well for Drew Dunbar’s kidney transplant: CBS has renewed Chuck Lorre’s B Positive for Season 2, TVLine has learned. Additionally, the Eye network has renewed Lorre’s other freshman sitcom, United States of AI, for a second season.

B Positive centers on the aforementioned Drew (played by Silicon Valley‘s Thomas Middleditch), a therapist and newly divorced dad who is faced with needing a kidney donor. He soon reconnects with Gina Dabrowski (Masters of Sex‘s Annaleigh Ashford), a rough-around-the-edges woman from his past who volunteers her own.

B Positive will be on the CBS schedule for a bit longer.

The freshman comedy has nabbed a full season order at CBS, becoming one of few shows to pull off such a move in that pandemic-affected season.

While the show has been expanded, no details on how many episodes have actually been ordered.

ABC's Big Sky recently got a six-episode back-order, keeping it around for 16 episodes.

However, that show is heavily serialized, meaning that fewer episodes were probably a part of a commitment between the creatives and the network.

B Positive Season 1 is averaging 5 million viewers and a 0.56 rating in the all-important 18-49 demo.

The series, which hails from Chuck Lorre, is holding up well in its Thursday slot and pulling in decent enough ratings to stick around.

B Positive was the only completed broadcast pilot ahead of this season due to the Covid-19 shutdowns that plagued the industry.

Less than a month after ABC reversed its decision to renew Stumptown for a second season, star Michael Ealy is already planning his return to the network via the medical drama pilot Triage, our sister site Deadline reports.

Triage follows a pioneering surgeon named Finley Briar (Midnight, Texas‘ Parisa Fitz-Henley) across three decades working in the same hospital. “With the evolution of medicine as the backdrop, the show explores the interconnected careers, friendships and romances of Finley and her colleagues, and their tenuous relationship with time,” per ABC’s official description.

Doug Spearman, writer/director of Hot Guys With Guns

With a title like Hot Guys With Guns, the gay action comedy has been getting attention on the film festival circuit and for good reason. Taking elements of film noir, buddy comedies and a dash of gay romance, writer/director Doug Spearman has crafted a layered story that follows two exes, Danny (Marc Anthony Samuel) and Pip (Brian McArdle) as they try to solve a West Hollywood crime ring. Of course, the two men are also trying to solve the matter of their hearts as lingering feelings from their past relationship are just as paramount as the clues they’re searching for to solve the crime.

A delightfully naughty exploration of firsts and foresk- ... er, foremosts in terms of gay male intimacy on the silver screen, it celebrated some of the films that blew the celluloid closet to bits, one modesty sock at a time.

Six years later, it's shocking just how far pop culture has come in terms of normalizing gay characters and stories, and how much bolder the gay film audience has grown in demanding films that speak truthfully to their sexual experience (though, it must be said, the films that answer the call are usually decidedly outside of the mainstream). So we've decided to bring you an update to our foundational piece that looks at what has happened since.

The Logo series "Dtla" is wrapping up 2012 with a bang -- or, more specifically, a steamy gay shower scene.

Logo offers this sneak peak at the season finale, which is set to air Dec. 1, showing Darryl Stephens ("Noah's Arc") in a wet, passionate embrace with Danny Roberts (best known for his stint on "The Real World -- New Orleans.")

The show, which "tells the story of a diverse group of friends, all at crossroads in their lives," is also the first series funded in part via Kickstarter to receive domestic and international distribution.

Expect to see more of Emily's classmate from the vengeance dojo. Barry Sloane has been promoted to a series regular on Revenge with the potential to return in a potential third season.

CBS has ordered a full season of Vegas and Elementary, both shows I liked but haven't had time to keep watching.

Er. Wow. You know Jeremy Davies' odd haircut at the Emmys? The one we thought was an expression of his character's strangeness until he stepped onto the Emmy stage? It turns out he showed up on the set of Justified with that haircut and they decided to use it.

While I agree the characters on Happy Endings are pretty terrible people, that makes senes if you don't think of it as a Friends clone but rather as the successor to Seinfeld. Bad as the He gang might be,...

A group of friends dealing with life and love…blending elements of both comedy and drama…set in Los Angeles…airing on Logo…and starring Darryl Stephens.

Based on that description, you might think the show we’re talking about is Noah’s Arc, the series that aired on Logo from 2005-2006 and then wrapped up in a big screen movie in 2008. However, this is 2012 and we’re talking about the new series, Dtla. Created by Larry Kennar (The L Word), the show premieres this week on Logo. Compared to Noah's Arc, it's arguably a more mature take on relationships, family, love and careers as seen through the eyes of a group of twenty-to-thirty-something friends.

And, yes, Darryl Stephens leads the cast as Dtla’s Lenny but, as he told AfterElton last week during a sit-down in West Hollywood, this isn’t a continuation of the role that made him famous.

Birthday shoutouts go to Dominic West (above), who is 43, Penny Marshall is 70, and Tanya Roberts is 57.In ratings news, last night's Revenge was up a bit, but both Once Upon A Time and 666 Park Avenue were down again. In more ratings news, the Season Three debut of The Walking Dead was 50% higher than last season's debut and now ranks as the most-watched drama telecast in basic cable history. "The Walking Dead‘s season premiere 18-49 average was higher than any broadcast series this season, excluding Sunday Night Football." Becoming Barbra Streisand. Adam Lambert insures voice for $48 Million? Big congrats to "Insanity" fitness developer Shaun T., who married boyfriend Scott Blokker.
