As the world gears up for a vibrant Pride Month, JustWatch, the world’s largest streaming guide, has unveiled its annual analysis spotlighting the best streaming platforms for LGBTQ+ movies and TV shows in the U.S. The report also reveals the most popular LGBTQ+ titles among audiences and highlights the queer-celebration stories and film festivals fans can look forward to in 2026.

Drawing on JustWatch’s extensive dataset of nearly 1,600 movies and TV series currently available to stream or rent in the U.S. featuring queer protagonists and narratives, the report answers some of the biggest questions for streaming fans, entertainment audiences, and diversity advocates alike:

Key Findings

Top Platform for LGBTQ+ Content: This year, Dekkoo took the top spot, offering more than 364 LGBTQ+ movies and series. Followed closely by Prime Video (322 titles), and HereTV (245 titles) another leading streaming service with a focus on LGBTQ+ content.
Fresh Releases to Watch: New standout titles coming to streaming this year include Pillion, Blue Moon, and The Chronology of Water — based on streaming popularity on JustWatch.
Enduring LGBTQ+ Classics: Nearly 30 years after its release, The Birdcage continues to rank among the most-streamed LGBTQ+ favorites. Buffy the Vampire Slayer also remains a fan favorite, with both titles currently available to stream for free on select platforms.
Top TV Series: Euphoria is currently the biggest LGBTQ+ series, quickly building a strong fan following in its debut season.

Which Streaming Platforms Lead in LGBTQ+ Content?

In the US, Dekkoo leads the pack with the most extensive LGBTQ+ catalogue — 364 titles, representing 23% of all queer content tracked by JustWatch that is currently available to stream in the United States. It’s closely followed by Prime Video (322 titles) and HereTV (245 titles), another platform specialising in LGBTQ+ movies and series.

Top LGBTQ+ Movies and Shows This Month

JustWatch analyzed user interactions to determine which movies and TV shows with queer protagonists and narratives are dominating the charts:

Top Movie: Pillion (2025) —currently only available to rent, not yet on a subscription streaming service. The debut feature from director Harry Lighton stars Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård in a story about power, desire, and queer identity: a directionless man is swept off his feet when an enigmatic biker takes him on as his submissive. It premiered at Cannes 2025, where it won Best Screenplay, and has earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Notable watch: Blue Moon (2025) received two Oscar nominations and won the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance (Andrew Scott) at Berlinale 2025, for its sensitive portrayal of a gay, Jewish artist navigating the music industry and the seeming impossibility of love during this era.

Most Popular TV Series with Queer Characters and Plots

Notable Watch: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) ranked #8 nearly 30 years after its debut, continuing to captivate audiences with its groundbreaking LGBTQ+ representation — particularly the beloved relationship between Willow and Tara, one of television’s first major long-running queer romances.

“When putting together this report, I was surprised to see how many nostalgic titles, like The Birdcage and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, are still attracting strong audiences in 2026. It says something meaningful about what viewers continue to connect with. LGBTQ+ stories aren’t a streaming trend. They’re a staple.”
