The most unmissable LGBTQ+ TV this autumn, from Sex Education to Doctor Who

Despite the UK’s late summer heatwave, it’s almost time to swap daylight for darkness, shorts for sweaters, and boozy pub lunches for lounging on the sofa watching the best new LGBTQ+ TV shows.

Despite the ongoing Hollywood actors’ strike, there’s still a fair bit of great TV coming your way this fall. There’s the queerest season of Doctor Who yet, the most star-studded American Horror Story cast list in a while, more gay zombies and about a dozen series of Drag Race – plus loads more.
