Apple TV+ still has yet to release an original title that gets them into the cultural conversation on the same level as Disney+ (with the possible exception of The Morning Show). But as the streaming services rolls out its next slate of shows, some promising contenders are making an appearance. The latest is the five-part documentary series Visible: Out on Television, which charts the rise of LGBTQ representation on TV and the impact that it made on the community at large.
Featuring a star-studded group of celebrities like Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfrey, Anderson Cooper, Billy Porter, and more, Visible: Out on Television already has an emotional and heartfelt trailer. Who knows how much we’ll cry once the series comes out? Watch the Visible Out on Television trailer below.
