Hello, my friends! Thank you for joining me for another Pop Culture Fix — and an extra special thank you to Valerie Anne for covering for me last week! It looks like there were two kinds of pop culture bloodbaths while I was gone. The bad kind: so many gay shows got cancelled! And the good kind: We finally got our first look at Netflix’s new lesbian vampire show, First Kill! Good thing it was Valerie who was here to report on that; she handles blood a LOT better than me.

+ Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird scrapped it out this weekend.

+ Your favorite lesbian aunt came out to cheer on her wifey in the Storm home opener last week.

+ How these queer WNBA couples came to be. (Adorable alert!)

+ Stephanie Beatriz has joined Peacock’s live-action adaptation of Twisted Metal. 

+ The official trailer for First Kill is here, which Carmen reported in last week’s Also.Also.Also — but I thought you’d like to see it again/wouldn’t want to miss it!

+ The Indigo Girls were on Debbie Millman’s Design Matters podcast last week. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard with them (and they’re from my college town; I’ve heard a LOT of interviews with them).

+ Xochitl Gomez chatted with USA Today about the homophobic backlash to Doctor Strange 2 and how she hopes LGBTQ kids see it as inspiration to stand strong.

+ How Welcome to Flatch’s queer star Holmes fights sadness with humor.

+ Thirty years later, Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s queer coding has aged remarkably well.

+ Gentleman Jack Changed My Life: a new BBC One documentary will explore the impact of Suranne Jones’ drama on lesbian women.

+ Fox has cancelled Our Kind of People after one season.

+ The CW has now pulled the plug on Legacies. And also 4400. And Roswell, New Mexico. And Naomi and Charmed.

+ Speaking of all these cancellations, Natalie recently shared this really incisive — and depressing — look at what’s going on (and invites us, once again, to blame Netflix).

+ Niecy Nash’s spin-off of The Rookie has been picked up! One bright bit of TV news in this current cancellation hellscape!

+ Of course, Nic is also very correct here.

+ ABC has renewed A Million Little Things. 

+ My guilty pleasure show, Pleasure Island — which will include Jasika Nicole in season two — is being pushed back to fall at Fox.

+ Fox has also renewed Welcome to Flatch and 9-1-1: Lonestar.

+ Wonder Woman 3: The DCEU can’t ignore Diana’s bisexuality any longer. (I also hope they don’t ignore her as an actual character like they did in Wonder Woman 2.)

+ Heartstopper and the importance of queer joy.

+ Queer Country explores the origins of the growing genre of music.
