View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe original series (both the original British version and the first American reboot) lacked diversity, which the new edition is expected to address. Dunn is putting black, trans, non-binary, and queer characters to the forefront of the reboot series. Screenwriter Moore spoke about the aspects that lacked in previous depictions:"I believe deeply in the power of storytelling to make people feel seen, but all too often I feel as though queer and trans representation in art is limited to extremes. We are either shown as saintly heroes bravely surviving a bigoted society or two-dimensional queer-coded villains that feel airdropped in from some previous era."She added:"With Queer as Folk, we aimed to depict queer characters who live in the messy middle. People who are complicated. Who are funny and caring and flawed and sometimes selfish, but still worthy of love. Still worthy of narrative. As a trans woman, I’m excited to take steps to move past telling stories that seem to just be arguing for our basic humanity. My hope is that Queer as Folk is one such step."Watch the remake of the remarkable series decades after its initial premiere, representing the queer folks of the new age. Queer as Folk drops on June 9, 2022.
