In honor of LGBT Pride Month this June, teen-leaning subscription service Fullscreen has announced several new shows featuring prominent LGBTQ+ creators — including Suck Less (working title), a weekly call-in talk show hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race star and popular vlogger Willam Belli.
Debuting this summer, Belli will “spill the tea, throw shade, and show us all how to slay the game of life in six-inch stilettos,” according to Fullscreen. Michael Rucker (Shane & Friends, Project Runway) will produce all 13, half-hour episodes, which will also feature appearances from Belli’s drag sisters.
And as competitors like Netflix increasingly recruit top-tier comedians for exclusive specials, Fullscreen is following suit. The platform has announced its first-ever standup special to be headlined on June 16 by Rachel Scanlon — an actress, writer, and regular on Andrea Russett’s Fullscreen talk series Apologies In Advance. Titled Rachel Scanlon Is Hot And Hungry, the half-hour special — which will be taped live at the Flappers Comedy Club in California — will explore what it’s like to be LGBTQ+ in America.
Finally, Fullscreen has ordered a second season of Hella Gay With Miles McKenna — a short form docuseries hosted by the trans activist and popular YouTube star. Season two, premiering on June 1 and consisting of nine episodes, will feature McKenna in conversation with openly gay rapper Cakes Da Killa as well as Ash and MK Kelly — two identical transgender twins who hail from a conservative town in the Midwest.

Other Pride-themed programming slated for June includes appearances by LGBTQ+ influencers — such as Alaska Thunderfuck, Chris Crocker, Stef Sanjati, Elijah & Christine, and Gigi Gorgeous — on the hit Fullscreen visual podcasts Psychobabble (hosted by YouTube luminary Tyler Oakley) and Shane & Friends (hosted by Shane Dawson).
Fullscreen is also highlighingt a dozen licensed series and films for Pride Month — though they have been previously available on the platform. Check out that slate, courtesy of the company, below:
