With the buzz around lineups dying down, the BL/GL industry is on a slow poke. There were barely any new announcements last week, so we thought that we could finally breathe a sigh of relief. We weren’t expecting Star Hunter Entertainment to suddenly spring a surprise though!

We Are the Bad Barbers

Official trailer released for the upcoming action comedy “We Are the Bad Barbers”. Stars Nakajima Ayumu & Kusakawa Takuya (Minato’s Laundromat) in lead roles.

On the surface, they’re barbers, but behind the scenes, they’re… Ryoshi!

A retro-style barbershop tucked away in a rural town. The two men who work there have hidden lives. “For 3 million yen, we’ll straighten up your life.”

The Ryoshi take on any problem that can’t be solved in the real world, straightening out their clients’ messy lives and cutting their hair. This mysterious barbershop, run by two clumsy men, will once again see someone off to a fresh start.

Heated Rivalry Season Two

Never before has a show being renewed while it is still on-air. So, “Heated Rivalry” has certainly managed the impossible. Crave Canada’s latest sensational queer adaptation has been renewed for Season Two. HBO Max will continue to have rights to the series in the United States and Australia as part of a deal with Sphere Abacus, which distributes the show, while adding territories in Asia, Latin America and parts of Europe (though not the U.K., Ireland, Spain or Turkey). Crave, which commissioned the show, will continue to stream it in Canada.

Heated Rivalry, based on a novel by Rachel Reid, follows a romance over several years between hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), who play for rival teams but can’t deny their attraction to one another. Crave says the show, created by Jacob Tierney (Letterkenny), is its biggest original series launch to date.
