While shows like Stranger Things and Bridgerton capture attention, don't overlook The Boyfriend, Netflix's groundbreaking same-sex dating series from Japan. The second season is on the horizon.
According to Netflix, "Ten new queer men from diverse backgrounds will share a home in Hokkaido for roughly two months. In a serene, snow-covered setting, they’ll explore their identities and the type of boyfriend they aspire to be.
"Throughout their journey of connection and understanding, they’ll also run a new coffee truck to foster closer bonds."
