Meet the sexy actors from Prime Video's new gay series 'Strangelove'

Love ain't that strange anymore… or is it?!

Award-winning filmmaker Jorge Xolalpa is bringing the gay Latinx millennial experience of life in Los Angeles to the new series Strangelove — set to premiere on Prime Video, YouTube, and Vimeo just in time to kick off National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Described as a "labor of love" that's been in different stages of production since 2021, Strangelove reflects the "diverse, multifaceted lives of the LGBTQ+ community" in L.A. In fact, Xolalpa shaped each of the characters on the show drawing from his own experiences, which makes these storylines feel as genuine, relatable, and true for a community that's still largely underrepresented on TV.

While we wait for the grand premiere of Strangelove, here's all the tea you need to know about this beautiful group of diverse actors starring in the series!

Scroll through to meet the actors — and find out which characters they're playing — in the cast of Strangelove, which premieres this Wednesday, September 18 on Prime Video, YouTube, and Vimeo.
