After just one season, Peacock canceled its Queer as Folk reboot.The show followed a group of queer friends moving forward after a shooting at a queer bar in New Orleans. It premiered on June 9 and ran for eight episodes.Stephen Dunn, who created the new show, announced the cancellation on Instagram Friday.“It’s a rare gift in these times, and in this country, to be able to make a show as fearless and unapologetic as Queer As Folk,” Dunn wrote.
“We know how much it’s meant to the fans and while we’re heartbroken we won’t get to make more episodes, we wanna thank everyone for watching and falling in love with Brodie, Mingus, Ruthie, Noah, Shar, Julian, Daddius, Bussey, Marvin, Judy and Brenda.”The 2022 show rebooted Russell T. Davies’ 1999 “Queer as Folk,” a British show that was already rebooted for an American audience in 2000, with the main characters living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, instead of Manchester, United Kingdom.
This most recent version made a point of featuring diverse casting and storylines, focusing more on trans and disabled characters and characters of color.Many of those involved with the show joined Dunn in expressing their disappointment.Jaclyn Moore, an executive producer, said she was “very sad to say goodbye to Queer as Folk.”Actor Johnny Sibilly, who played the lawyer Noah, agreed.“Thank you to the cast & crew of #QueerAsFolk for showing up to tell stories that celebrated queerness,” he said on Instagram. “I’ll have this family forever & while it hurts now, I will always be so proud of what we accomplished.
Keep supporting queer content y’all. It’s not promised.”The first, and now only, season of the modern-day Queer as Folk had garnered a number of strong reviews.
