HANDSOME SEASON 2
COMING SOON
SYNOPSIS
Devon is finally following through with his divorce to Patrick so that he can ask Gabriel to marry him. But before he can pop the question, Gabriel says he wants to open up the relationship. At first, Devon is totally against it, but after being pursued by another couple at a summer pool party, Devon and Gabriel experience polyamory for the first time. This season, Devon explores the world of open dating and tests the limits of his relationship...and himself.
STARCROSSED
ROMEO + JULIET were a couple of star crossed lovers. They got married after their first encounter, defied their parents then killed themselves. All in the name of Love. Who hasn’t been there right?… Right?
This is the inspiration for DEVON + GABRIEL'S journey.
2 LOVERS CARRIED AWAY BY LOVE AND PASSION, DESTINED FOR TRAGEDY.
LOOK AND FEEL
A 90s HOMAGE
BAZ LURHMAN CREATED A VOICE FOR 90s YOUTH - DRIPPING IN PASSION, STYLE AND EDGE.
PUNCHY COLORFUL FAST PACED BEAUTIFUL
BEYOND THAT OUR LOOK WILL BE
OUR SHOTS WILL BE DRIPPING WITH ICONIC LA IMAGERY - PALM TREES REACHING UP TO THE HEAVENS, THE GLOWY HAZE OF NEON AT NIGHT, CLASSIC CARS AND CRAFTSMAN STYLE HOMES FILLED WITH PATINA. THE LOOK WILL BE SOMETHING I CALL SATURATED GRIT - BEAUTIFUL, BRIGHT BLUES AND YELLOWS WITH ACCENTS OF RED AND ROSE.
THE CULTURE
THE QUEER COMMUNITY IN LOS ANGELES HAS HELPED ME EXPLORE MY OWN IDENTITY AND HELPED ME FIND NEW WAYS OF EXPRESSION. IT’S MY GOAL TO HIGHLIGHT THE PEOPLE I’VE MET ALONG MY JOURNEY - FROM MEMBERS OF THE TRANS COMMUNITY TO OTHER QUEER ARTISTS AND CLUB KIDS.
LA KNOWS HOW TO TURN A LOOK:
WE ARE GOING TO INCORPORATE LOCAL FASHION AND DESIGNERS INTO THE SECOND SEASON. FROM STREET WEAR TO THE CLUB KID SCENE, CLOTHING WILL PLAY A BIG ROLL IN THE WAY THE CHARACTERS EXPRESS THEMSELVES ON SCREEN.
OUR LOCATIONS ARE ALSO ESSENTIAL.
FROM THE BEACH TO ECHO PARK, THIS ALL ADDS TO THE OVERALL LOOK WE’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. I ALSO WANT TO SHOW SOME OF THE VENUES AND EVENTS THAT HAVE SHAPED MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS CITY - PARTIES LIKE RHONDA ARE PLACES WHERE WE CAN GO TO BE SEEN AND EXPRESS OURSELVES THROUGH MUSIC, FASHION AND SEXUALITY.
MAKING IT A REALITY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOOKING AT WHAT’S IN STORE FOR HANDSOME: SEASON 2.
When I wrote season one, I had no idea it would resonate with so many people - I was just trying to tell a story that felt real and entertaining in the process.
WITH LOVE,
