SYNOPSIS

Jo, a white trans woman craving an increasingly elusive intimacy, Carter, a queer Black man at odds with his conservative upbringing, and Emerie, a Latina trans woman stuck in an incompatible relationship, all converge from different parts of Chicago for a magical New Year's Eve night. As hangovers fade, and the three friends face awkward hook-ups, nervous dates, and the unlikely pursuit of lasting love, at least they have each other. Told in small, quotidian moments—by turns private, public, quietly tragic, and painfully hilarious—the T tells realer-to-life stories about the LGBTQ community than are often portrayed in mainstream media.

A Note from Full Spectrum Features:

This program features actor Bea Cordelia, who has admitted to committing sexual assault and misconduct. We do not condone this behavior and stand with the courageous survivors that brought this harm to light.

Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge the impact of these events, while also recognizing the tremendous creative labor of the many individuals that brought this series to fruition. We hope this opens a dialogue about abuse of power, accountability, and restorative justice in the arts community.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment, abuse or misconduct, you can text the Mental Health Crisis Text Line (US and Canada) at 741741 or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 for help and resources.
