On the heels of the unexpected sleeper hit Heated Rivalry, a new hockey series adapted from a romance novel is set to be released, only this time it’s about a straight couple. 
Off Campus, a new hockey romance series from Amazon Prime, is based on Elle Kennedy’s book series, which has sold over 3 million copies since its release in 2015 and has been a fan favorite on BookTok for years.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been beloved by queer fans since the show premiered in the ‘90s. The iconic teen monster-of-the-week show took the campy movie it was based on and turned it into a coming-of-age story that explored queerness with characters who felt othered, had to hide their identities, and created a loving found family. 
And then there was the groundbreaking kiss between Willow and Tara, who represented the first sapphic relationship between two series regular characters on U.S. television.

The wild success of Heated Rivalry means that the stars of the hit show have gone from being relative unknowns to superstars overnight.
The show’s popularity means the cast is extremely booked and busy. The leading men are attending the Oscars, walking the red carpet at star-studded events, and appearing in countless sexy photoshoots, so it's safe to say they're in high demand with casting agents everywhere.

Bridgerton season four had come (pun intended) and gone, and now the long-long wait for season five begins. So while we’re already longing, what better time to take a look back at where it all began — and of course all those super steamy love scenes that got us hooked on the Regency romance from the very start.
From royal intrigue and meddling mamas to ever-watching eyes and salacious gossip, the folks at Mayfair have a lot more than marriage to think about — and we love it.
