Out in Hollywood Reveals 2026 Out Loud List of Best Un-Produced Queer TV Pilots

Out in Hollywood announced its 2026 Out Loud list on May 15, 2024, highlighting the top un-produced queer-focused television pilot scripts from the past year. This marks the sixth iteration of the initiative, which is a collaboration with the talent agency Gersh. The selected writers will be honored at a reception in Los Angeles. The list aims to provide visibility and support for LGBTQ+ storytellers and their projects, fostering opportunities within the television industry. Out in Hollywood has been instrumental in championing diverse voices and narratives since its inception, with the Out Loud list serving as a key platform for emerging talent. The selection process involved a review of numerous submissions, with a focus on originality, compelling storytelling, and authentic representation of queer experiences. The event is designed to connect these writers with industry professionals, including producers, executives, and agents, potentially leading to the development and production of their pilot scripts. This year's list continues the tradition of identifying and promoting groundbreaking queer content that might otherwise struggle to find a foothold in mainstream television.
