What’s New in Queer TV #4: Taurasi
Docuseries about a lesbian basketball legend
Welcome to the weekly post where I discuss new additions to my 2025 queer streaming guide.

Disclaimer: All the shows listed below came out about one month ago because I've noticed that's how long it usually takes me to be able to confidently verify whether a show has queer representation. I'm not able to watch everything, but I'll only include shows that have proven queer characters as verified online through reputable sources.
Taurasi • Season 1

In addition to being a basketball superstar, Diana Taurasi is married to her former teammate Penny Taylor and has two kids together.
My thoughts on it: I don't follow sports, so I had no idea who Taurasi was until I stumbled upon the trailer for this show. I haven't had a chance to watch the docuseries yet, but I'm obsessed with this woman's life. She is an absolute WNBA legend, and also spent some time playing in Russia? As a queer women, I'm genuinely curious what motivated that choice (ok, money probably).
I also write a weekly newsletter on Substack, sharing pop culture news and a round-up of new shows (queer and not) I've watched during the week. You can see examples of some of my posts throughout this guide 😃
