Here’s our roundup of movie/series trailers that have hit the web since the last Trailer Tuesday. Watch these sneak peeks of films — mainstream, indie and queer (if we’re lucky) — coming soon (or recently premiered) to theaters or a streaming platform near you.
Listed in order of premiere date.
Playing Around: Season 1
Fun, heartfelt, and steamy, the first season of this, coming-of-age LGBTQ+ comedy by first-time director James Camargo de Alba follows Germán Andrés (played by James Camargo de Alba), who is 29, gay, works at a call center, lives with his mother, and has never had a stable partner. As he approaches 30, the pressure to “settle down” pushes him to look for love before his birthday—preferably before turning 30 becomes a full-blown crisis. But in an age of polyamory, ghosting, and commitment phobia, finding the perfect match feels almost impossible. This is the North American release of Colombian series.
Available now on video-on-demand and streaming and arriving on DVD, June 25.
