'The Shards,' 'Pose,' and 'Feud: Bette and Joan.'

Ryan Murphy has become so prolific that he tends to miss as much as he hits. But what he lacks in consistency, he more than makes up for by being one of the only directors in Hollywood who focuses so much on bringing LGBTQ+ characters to life and hiring queer actors to star in his shows.

Things are heating up on The Challenge.
It's hard to believe the popular reality show has hit 42 seasons on television, but the competition is only gaining momentum. Nearly making it to the finals on season 41, out gay contestant Justin Hinsley was recruited to compete once again as he brings his unapologetic queer energy to the chaotic cast.

This story originally appeared on Out.

Ryan Murphy’s latest project debuted last night after months of teasing fans with the promise of a new soapy queer drama from the king of soapy queer dramas.
The Shards premiered with its first two episodes on Aug. 5 and follows a group of privileged teens whose glamorous lives start to fall apart under the dual threats of a mysterious new student and a serial killer on the loose.

        Why 'Sterling Point' creator Megan Park made the next 'authentic' teen drama queer

Ramona (Amélie Hoeferle) and Annie Jacobson (Ella Rubin) on 'Sterling Point.'

        Sabrina Lantos/Prime
    
This story originally appeared on Out.

New teen TV sensation Sterling Point is very queer, and you have creator Megan Park to thank for that.
"It just feels like queer representation just makes sense," Park says. The new Prime Video series follows Annie (Ella Rubin) to a mysterious Canadian island her grandfather left to her and her brother after his death, in search of answers. That quickly leads her to Ramona (Amélie Hoeferle), the free-spirited, at times abrasive, queer sister she didn't know she had.
