Kit Williamson strips down and goes there in Unconventional

A new TV show about chaotic gays? Sign us up.

Kit Williamson is the heartthrob who's starred in a slew of hit projects including EastSiders and Mad Men, but his latest role may be his favorite yet.

The multi-hyphenate directed, produced, and starred in the brand new show Unconventional, which serves as a spiritual successor to EastSiders by following a group of dynamic queer people trying to simply survive in this world.

"I love gay shenanigans! Unconventional is a dark comedy about two eccentric gay siblings and their significant others trying to start a family. The brother, played by me, will be the sperm donor to his sister's girlfriend. Of course, everything goes haywire. Their lives are falling apart," Williamson tells PRIDE.

As if a queer family trying to have a baby isn't juicy enough, Williamson's character and his partner also explore threesomes and polyamory to spice up their relationship.

"I think affording queer characters the right to be complex and flawed is just as important as positive representation. People have sex! That's a part of life. It's a part of relationships and we'd be remiss not to explore it. There's a lot of throuple trouble going on, for sure."

Although there's no shortage of wild themes explored in Unconventional, audiences will giggle as all of the storylines play out on screen. After all, laughter is needed now more than ever... and who better to bring the funny than Willam Belli and Kathy Griffin?

"You gotta cast drag queens and Kathy Griffin! I'll write something for Willam in everything I ever do. I'm absolutely obsessed with him. Everybody, at some point in their life, has been a complete and total mess. I just really want to tap into that core memory for everyone. I think people can relate to that."

Unconventional premieres on Tuesday, February 11, on Revry. To see the full interview with Kit Williamson, check out the video at the top of page. Don't forget to catch the official trailer below!
