Queer As Folk UK - reboot
-
Even during their original broadcasts, the frequent (unending?) bar scenes in QaF seemed very stilted and unreal, but maybe it was budgets, or I'm judging against bars in bigger metro areas.
I'm just not a fan of most gay reboots. Let's bring in some new gay ideas and new gay shows for the new times in which we live.
Don't even start me on the Queer Eye reboot – as example, they perform a FTM makeover that's only slightly more enlightened than one on the original show, but I find the overall "we're valued by straight people when we improve their lives" premise very, very dated.
In any event, I would call the reboot Queer-Ass Folk, just to get in people's faces… :crazy2:

From what I've been reading, it seems like it's a modern version of the old show.
It will be based in the same area, telling the story of a group of friends in the current time.
If it's done right, it could show the difference between the times of the 2 series.

Wow, that´s really nice. We need new gay shows.

If they bring back Charlie Hunnam I'm all for it! Though in all seriousness I think it would be fun to see a modern day reboot. I watched the show as a young closeted middleschooler and it was nice to see gay people on TV, so I have fond memories.

I LOVED the original version of the show. RTD really nailed the characters there. One even popped up again (Hazel) in his also excellent show, Cucumber.

It would be nice to see a little more diversity in it. Maybe set it somewhere other than Manchester

Never watched the show, I do indeed remember some of the sex scenes tho, I'd watch it now, hopefully they feature full frontals and lot's of sex scenes
-
Any idea when we will get to see it?

Ok, here's an update on the show, from Aug 2019.
The show has been delayed due to switching from Bravo to NBC-Universal.
Russell T Davies is the Exec Producer (along with Lee Eisenberg and Emily Brecht) and storyline creator.
Stephen Dunn is the main writer.
8 people were cast for the Bravo run series but no idea if they are still part of the project now that it has moved to NBC-U. Ezra Miller (yummy) was cast to play the Stuart/Brian type character, but again I don't know if this is still the case.
The context of the story is that there was some sort of tragedy and how the club going group copes and find support within the gay community.

I'm confused… Is there gonna be a kind of remake of the original series from 2000?

It's not a remake of the orginal series.
It will take place in the same city, with a new set of characters. Think of it as; the next generation.

Ok, got it now!
Thanks!
