This Pride Month, let Lionsgate Play color your screen with stories that inspire, challenge, and connect. From pulse-pounding thrillers to heart-stirring dramas and fearless comedies, these must-watch picks put LGBTQ+ experiences front and center—honest, emotional, and unapologetically bold.
Here are five exceptional titles that explore identity, celebrate love in all its forms, and shine a spotlight on characters who dare to live their truth.
🌈 Killing Eve
Obsession meets danger in this sharp, stylish thriller that redefines the cat-and-mouse game. Sandra Oh’s MI5 agent Eve becomes entangled in a thrilling and twisted chase with Jodie Comer’s unpredictable assassin Villanelle. Their magnetic connection blurs the lines between love, hate, and everything in between. Packed with plot twists and psychological depth, Killing Eve is a masterclass in tension, desire, and duality.
🌈 High Town
Crime, addiction, and redemption collide in this gritty series set against the backdrop of Cape Cod. Monica Raymund shines as Jackie Quinones, a lesbian federal agent struggling to stay sober while solving a murder linked to the opioid crisis. With raw storytelling and a vulnerable, complex lead, High Town explores how trauma and truth intersect in powerful ways.
🌈 Casual
Witty, modern, and emotionally sharp, Casual follows a newly divorced therapist, her eccentric brother, and her teenage daughter as they navigate love, life, and family. While not an exclusively LGBTQ+ storyline, the series features open conversations about sexual identity, fluidity, and self-discovery—wrapped in biting humor and authentic relationships.
🌈 Emmanuelle
Bold and boundary-pushing, Emmanuelle is a sensual journey into sexual awakening. Starring Noémie Merlant, this cult classic embraces themes of identity and freedom, challenging taboos with elegance and audacity. A provocative film that helped pave the way for honest representations of sexuality in cinema, it’s a must-see for fans of fearless storytelling.
🌈 A Very English Scandal
Based on a shocking true story, this darkly satirical drama reveals the 1970s political scandal involving British MP Jeremy Thorpe. Hugh Grant gives a riveting performance as Thorpe, whose secret relationship with Norman Scott (Ben Whishaw) leads to a cover-up of explosive proportions. Mixing dry wit with heartbreaking realism, the series is a sharp reminder of how far we’ve come—and how far we still have to go.
