Must-See LGBTQ TV: ‘The Fosters’ celebrates 100 episodes, and the premiere of ‘Rise’
Grab the remote, set your DVR or queue up your streaming service of choice! GLAAD is bringing you the highlights LGBTQ on TV this week. Check back every Sunday for up-to-date coverage in LGBTQ-inclusive programming on TV.
This Tuesday’s double episode The Fosters is not just the spring finale – it’s also the 100th episode! The show, which received the GLAAD Media Award in Outstanding Drama Series at the 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, constantly breaks new ground by having a central family with two moms, as well as introducing more queer and trans characters as the series progresses. In the 100th and 101st episodes, Stef and Lena go on a couples retreat to reconnect and remember why have stayed together through it all, Callie and Brandon’s graduation ceremonies, and Jude questioning if the online gaming world is really where he belongs. The Fosters: Tuesday, starting at 8pm on Freeform.
Also on Tuesday is the series premiere of NBC’s new drama Rise. From the creator of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, the new show is the story of a high school drama club breaking the conventional mold by staging a production of Spring Awakening. Among the club’s members are Michael, a transgender teen, and Simon, who is coming to terms with his own sexual orientation. Rise: Tuesday, 10pm on NBC.
