TOP COMING SOON
Since 2022, over 150 BLs air every year. There are so many to look forward to (as well as some GL and gen shows!), so I made this list to help me narrow down the ones I'm most excited about. More added as details and announcements come out.
This is an offshoot of my upcoming BL list, which can be FOUND HERE.
The 2025 expo was great! I love how much GMMTV is leaning into queer content outside of your standard slice-of-life romance. These are the things het fans get all the time. It's our turn to have exciting shows and premises with a bit of romance on the side.

1. Lovers & Gangsters
Thai Drama - 0000
This looks amazing and lots of fun. I hope it stays that way. It's got a lot of things in it that I love in shows but don't get nearly enough. So I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers until this one is out. Hopefully it'll be a 2026 show and not later.
-
2. Gunshot
Thai Drama - 0000
This is gonna be a dark, crazy mess, and I can't wait! I hope they don't find a way to make it less serious when it finally comes out. I'm scared of a sad ending for my boys, but I think it's clearly the kind of story that lends itself to tragedy. Hopefully it's at least bittersweet and not just painful.

3. Ticket to Heaven
Thai Drama - 2026, 6 episodes
I'm gonna have to wait on this one to fully air before I watch it. I'm terrified of how it'll end. This looks amazing, honestly, the cast and the director and writer and everything. This could be huge. But if Aof pulls another time jump happy ending I'm gonna fly to Thailand and egg his house. He loves to separate his couples, and it's super annoying. But I'm still excited because I'm trying to have faith in him here.

4. Oxytoxin
Thai Drama - 0000
This is exactly what I've been asking for for years! I wanted an all-female cast in a show that isn't about backstabbing each other or trying to find a boyfriend/husband. It looks like there's a bit of romance in it, but it seems like a nice balance to everything else. The friendships are really emphasized. But yeah, it there is romance, I'm glad it's f/f.
-
5. The Bangkok Boy Season 2
Thai Drama - 0000
Loved the first season. Praying the second season is even better, or at least just as good. There are so many things they could do to screw up the second season. It'd be really easy to make it good, but I've seen shows miss those opportunities over and over again. But I guess worst case, we can just pretend like the first season was real and the rest is fanfiction. Here's hoping that won't be necessary, lol.
-
6. The Invisible Dragon
Thai Drama - 0000
I love First and Khao so much, I'd watch them in anything. But this one does seem sweet and moving, maybe a bit sad. I think I'll enjoy it more than Cats for Cash, honestly, as it's less silly and light in comparison.
-
7. Mr.Kill
Thai Drama - 0000
This was announced during the straight portion of the show, and I imagine it's bromance, not anything overtly romantic. But it looks like it could be fun, and even when it's platonic, I love seeing two men care for and cherish each other so much.
-
8. Happy Ending
Thai Drama - 0000
If this isn't m/m (since there is romance), I think it'll irritate me too much to watch this. We get so few exciting BLs, and this could be a great opportunity. But if it IS gay at all, I'll bump this up much higher, because it sounds right up my alley. If I find out there is confirmed m/m though, this is shooting right up into my top ten. (I am VERY concerned about a "twist" that is very common in this kind of media, though, and that would destroy the show for me, so I have my fingers crossed it doesn't go there.)
-
9. Payback
Thai Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
This looks kind of batshit insane, so I'm looking forward to it! I hope it's actually good.
-
10. Knot
Thai Drama - 0000
I don't know what I was expecting, but not that. Lol, this looks batshit insane, and I'm here for it. I was hesitant because of the typical consent issues, but the main couple seem to at least be all in. I'm actually kind of looking forward to this now. Even if it sucks and is super weird, it looks like it'll at least be entertaining.
-
11. I Will Always Save You
Thai Drama - 0000
Mixed feelings on this one, but again it seems like it could be fun. Here's hoping!
-
12. Round One
Thai Drama - 0000
I love fighting stuff, but I'm not big on time travel or time loops. I mean, time loops can be cool, but it takes a lot of effort to make them good. I have yet to see one as brilliant as Groundhog Day, so I'm going in ready to be annoyed. But it has elements that could make me love it, so it's here on the list, and I guess we'll see.
-
13. Cupid's Ghost
Thai Drama - 0000
Mixed feelings on this one, but I love Earth and Mix, and I adore stories with someone who can see ghosts. It looks more cutesy than is usually my taste, but I have my fingers crossed that it's awesome.
-
14. The Spooky Love Tale
Thai Drama - 0000
I like this concept in theory, but I would prefer it were a little more serious. That's okay though. Hopefully it's a lot of fun. That's all that matters.
-
15. Don't Be Too Emotional
Thai Drama - 0000
Not sure why I had this in the potentially canceled list. The trailer has been out for a while, but not years ago. I hope they do this justice, because it looks like a lot of fun.
-
16. Kiss Me, Remember?
Thai Drama - 0000
I'm just excited to see Barcode with another partner. He belongs in BL, damn it! The story, however, I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I hate amnesia tropes. Most of the time, at least. They're usually not great. But I did enjoy That Summer, so we'll see. Especially if there's a hint that when Barcode remembers, the memories won't be good.
-
17. Eyes on You
Hong Kong Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
This seems to have a bit of crime-ish/mafia vibe to it, so I'm hoping it'll be high action and exciting. Lowering my expectations, though. It still sounds fun at the moment, but we'll see.
-
18. Love Punch!
Japanese Movie - 2026
Looks interesting. I like anything with a rough, actiony kind of vibe. We'll see how this one goes.
-
19. Arrest and Action
Thai Drama - 0000
This is bromance, but it involves making a BL. I think this might be the closest we get to see them in a ship. But as long as it's a good show, that doesn't really matter. It seems to me that they may be too close to comfortably play lovers. I guess we'll see though. I never thought Dew would be in a BL, but here we are.
-
20. Gameboys NYC
Filipino Drama - 0000
I enjoyed the first season and adored the movie. I still haven't seen the second season, which is just an expansion of the movie, but I'm really excited to see their story continued. Hopefully this time we'll get a solid, certain, happy ending.
-
21. A Dog and a Plane
Thai Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
Mostly just excited for TayNew because I love Tay and like seeing him kiss other guys. The story itself isn't my type, but I have my fingers crossed regardless.
-
22. High & Low Born to Be High
Thai Drama - 2027
This one isn't gay, but it looks like a lot of fun. I like to see hot guys beat each other up, what can I say? I do hope they don't shove any female characters into this unless they're also badasses, not just there as a prize or motivation for some dude. Something without romance, just fighting and maybe friendship (?) seems like it could be quite enjoyable. Fingers crossed.
-
23. The Grim Lover
Thai Drama - 0000, 13 episodes
-
24. The Lie We Lived In
Korean Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
-
25. Moonshadow
Thai Drama - 0000
I'm starting to think that I can only see Emi in power-lesbian roles. I keep finding her irritating when she's in her other roles, but this one seems custom made for her. Also, no hate for the people who like her, I just haven't seen her pop up in any other roles that I found interesting. So fingers crossed this is the one.
-
26. Overdose
Thai Drama - 0000
This is het, but it looks kinda fun. I'm actually not sure if it's het or gen, but either way, I hope it ends up being fun to watch.
-
27. The Hell Guard
Thai Drama - 0000
Gotta be honest, I'm not actually all that invested in this one. It doesn't look great from the pilot, but I'm crossing my fingers that the final product is much better. It's an unusual concept in BL, so I have my fingers crossed, at any rate.
