June is here, and with it comes Pride Month — a time to honour love, identity, and the freedom to be unapologetically oneself. Lionsgate Play is joining the celebration with a curated collection of powerful, heartfelt, and fiercely entertaining stories that spotlight the LGBTQIA+ experience in all its complexity. From period romances and personal awakenings to gritty dramas and revolutionary comedy, these stories are as bold and diverse as the community they represent.
According to a press note, Lionsgate Play shared that this Pride Month, the platform is inviting audiences to “embrace diversity and celebrate love” through a vibrant and emotional lineup. According to the note, this collection is about “stories of love, laughter & liberation,” aiming to make space for all shades of identity on screen.
‘Carol’ – An exquisite cinematic gem, ‘Carol’ is a sweeping 1950s romance that defies societal boundaries. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara deliver stirring performances as two women who fall in love in a time and place where their feelings are anything but acceptable. Navigating heartbreak, family struggles, and the fear of exposure, Carol is both timeless and timely — a quiet yet courageous celebration of queer love.
‘Hightown’
In the crime-soaked world of ‘Hightown’, Jackie Quiñones is a queer fisheries officer whose life is turned upside down after she discovers a murder victim on the beach. As she tackles her own addiction and spirals deeper into a world of drugs, crime, and self-realisation, the show offers a raw, honest portrayal of queerness, trauma, and redemption.
‘Minx’
Transport yourself to the 1970s in ‘Minx’, where feminism meets flamboyance in a groundbreaking storyline. Ophelia Lovibond stars as a budding feminist who teams up with a porn publisher to launch the first erotic magazine for women. The result? A raucous and empowering ride filled with bold statements, body positivity, and sexual freedom — all wrapped in retro aesthetics and razor-sharp wit.
‘The Girlfriend Experience’
Dive deep into the emotional and psychological terrain of ‘The Girlfriend Experience’, where law student Christine Reade balances her academic life with her identity as a high-end escort. The series thoughtfully examines themes of control, intimacy, and compartmentalisation, while weaving in fluid expressions of queerness. It’s sleek, provocative, and intellectually engaging — a must-watch for viewers seeking stories beyond the surface.
With this powerful lineup, Lionsgate Play is not just marking Pride Month, but making a statement: representation matters, and stories matter even more when they are real, relatable, and resonate with authenticity.
Hit play, feel the love, and let Pride shine — only on Lionsgate Play.
