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.
-
1. The Heart Killers
Thai Drama - 0000
I love everything about this, and I'm going to lose my mind. I was worried when I heard it was a romantic comedy, but this is definitely the kind of action rom com I can get behind. I love First and Khaotung so much, and hopefully I'll finally be able to love a show with Joong and Dunk, because I like them as actors.
-
2. My Golden Blood
Thai Drama - 0000
Dear lord, how I screamed. I've been wanting a solid vampire BL for SO LONG, and it's with Joss and Gawin???? I can't put to words how excited I am for this, even if it's just as cheesy as the trailer made it seem, lol. Please don't let them screw this up. It's not hard to make a decent vampire show if you don't try to reinvent the wheel.
-
3. Goddess Bless You From Death
Thai Drama - 0000
This is everything I've wanted for so freaking long. I'm SO happy they aren't playing it safe after Pit Babe. A truly dark and gritty horror series that is unapologetically gay and plays on several tropes I adore (I'll protect you from anything, seeing ghosts, falling in love under danger, etc.). It's starting to get really hard to organize this list when like my top eight is basically equal in how badly I want them.
-
4. Kidnap
Thai Drama - 0000
This may or may not be BL. People are heavily debating it, and everyone has their opinions and hopes. I have my fingers crossed for BL, but honestly, even if it's not, I'm really excited for that level of intimacy and friendship. I just wish more BL had plots like this. So we'll see. EDIT: Confirmed BL!
-
5. The Vampire Project: To the Last
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
It's crazy to me how we went from no vampire BLs to the year of the vampire. I hope this is the start of more exciting and interesting plots in BL moving forward.
-
6. The Next Prince
Thai Drama - 2024
The original pilot trailer was absolute perfection, and I'm kind of afraid that the actual production won't live up to it. The editing, the music, the storytelling--it was all there, and that was just the pilot trailer! I love Zee and Nu, and I'm very excited for a bodyguard/prince BL. We need more stuff like this! I have my fingers crossed for action, violence, lots of sexual tension, drama, and sexiness. They're putting a lot of money into this one. I really need it to be amazing (and to actually come out, that's a big one). EDIT: The second pilot was still good, and I loved some additions but am not so sure about some of the changes. I hope this still ends up being amazing.
-
7. Spare Me Your Mercy
Thai Drama - 0000
-
8. Kemjira Will Survive
Thai Drama - 2024
Looks a little cheesy and awkward, but hopefully it'll be solid and entertaining overall.
-
9. Pit Babe Season 2
Thai Drama - 0000
-
10. Space Bakery
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
11. Jack and Joker
Thai Drama - 2024
-
12. Thame - Po Heart That Skips a Beat
Thai Drama - 0000
-
13. I'm the Most Beautiful Count
Thai Drama - 0000
-
14. Ossan's Love
Thai Drama - 2024
Honestly, kind of skeptical about this one, but I adore Earth and Mix, so I'm trying to keep my spirits up. Just praying it's more Moonlight Chicken and less Cupid's Last Wish. EDIT: Now that I've seen the trailer, I'm actually really excited for this one!
-
15. 4 Minutes
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
-
16. Wish You Luck
Thai Drama - 0000
Thought this one was canceled, and I was so sad--but apparently now they're estimating a 2025 release. Hopefully that means they're giving it all of the time and attention it needs to be as amazing as it looks.
-
17. Love Upon a Time
Thai Drama - 2024
-
18. High School Frenemy
Thai Drama - 2024
This is not BL, but it looks like so much fun. The friendship is the main priority, and I love that. Also, if they don't shoehorn any m/f into it, it could be an awesome portrayal of both male and female delinquents, which is rare to see without the m/f romance (and the girls being soft and just wanting twoo wuv x_x).
-
19. Zomvivor
Thai Drama - 2024
Might not have any M/M in it, which would be a shame and a waste, but hopefully we'll finally be getting some BL in the zombie genre.
-
20. Young Boys
Taiwanese Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
Thought this might be canceled, but it's on for 2025. I wasn't sure initially how action-oriented it would be, but it does sound a bit mysterious and angsty. Here's hoping it's good.
-
21. The Trainee
Thai Drama - 2024
Another cutesy or lowkey OffGun. I'm so grateful to get more from them and wasn't expecting this at all, but a different concept would have been nice. I'm just grateful that they're still getting work, though. No other BL couple has lasted this long and been this active!
-
22. The Ex-Morning
Thai Drama - 2025
I like that Singto and Krist are reuninting and all, but it's the fact that this is a story about two exes is what has me especially excited. From the start, there's no "it's okay if it's you" or sexuality questioning. It's just two guys who loved each other, broke up, and are getting a second chance. I'm so pumped.
-
23. Your Dear Daddy
Thai Drama - 0000
I'm purely excited about the casting. It doesn't look like my type of plot at a glance, but I hope it ends up being good. I also hope it helps to propel Fluke further in his career. EDIT: After seeing the pilot trailer, I'm much more excited for this. It looks a little dark and interesting, and as much as I love Fluke, his co-star is so insanely hot. Damn. I hope this ends up being good and not cheap. With drama it can really go either way. Let them examine these topics with the care they need, please!
-
24. The Boy Next World
Thai Drama - 2024
-
25. Love Sea
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
-
26. Pluto
Thai Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
A really cool looking GL.
-
27. See Your Love
Taiwanese Drama - 0000
-
28. 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.
-
29. Partner in Crime
Thai Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
-
30. Hidamari ga Kikoeru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
-
31. Cranium
Thai Drama - 2025
A GL with potentially complex plot and action. I have my fingers crossed, because it sounds cool so far.
-
32. Shine
Thai Drama - 0000
I love MileApo, and I look forward to this, even though it makes me a little nervous. I hope it's good. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have my fingers crossed that the show is able to utilize their charm while giving us quality. I also hope they don't tone down the romance, etc.
-
33. My Love Mix-Up!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
The original was cute, and while I like GeminiFourth, I wouldn't say their projects are particularly appealing to or aimed toward my age group and demographic. However, the more I thought about this, the more I looked forward to seeing what they'd do with it. It's not my number one spot, but it'll be cool to see a little more affection and angst, or at least I assume.
-
34. Peaceful Property
Thai Drama - 2024
Not BL from what I can tell, but found family with a dose of slashy moments between Tay and New. It looks like a lot of fun, and hopefully if it isn't m/m then NO ONE gets together, because platonic love is important too.
-
35. Petrichor
Thai Drama - 0000, 10 episodes
I'm both excited and a little salty that GL seems to be getting more exciting plots than a lot of BL very quickly. Here's another intriguing one!
-
36. Fourever You Project
Thai Drama - 0000, 16 episodes
I love Earth, but now that I know this likely won't have any prominent horror elements (despite the claim), I'm not sure if I'm still looking forward to this one. I guess we'll see who they reveal as the partners of the main cast. EDIT: Omg, he's being paired with Pond! I'm so excited. Even though this seems to just be slice-of-life, I'm excited to see those two together. Hopefully it'll be a good show.
-
37. The Last Case
Thai Drama - 0000
Sounds interesting, and GL deserves more love. I know little about it, so my interest may change, but otherwise I hope it's good.
-
38. 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.
-
39. Uranus 2324
Thai Movie - 2024
I don't know how heavy on the sci-fi this will ultimately be, but I'm hoping they do something new and exciting with the concept. This is GL, rather than BL.
-
40. Mystique in the Mirror
Thai Drama - 0000
I have multiple reasons to be excited about this one, but as time passes with no word, I fear we may never see it. It was higher on the list before, but I'm keeping things that are more likely to let me down (by sucking, by being canceled, by being about things I'm not into despite the interesting premise, etc) near the bottom.
-
41. Punk Spy
Thai Drama - 0000
Possibly canceled. I'm putting the ones with long periods of radio silence near the bottom, because at this rate I don't know if we'll even get them.
-
42. Dokkaebi Captivation
Korean Drama - 0000
This has potential to be very disappointing, but I have my fingers crossed, since it's unusual.
-
43. Qi'An
Taiwanese Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
This one has been silent a long time. :( EDIT: It released a short movie, and I guess they're trying to get crowd funding for the series now. So who knows if this will happen.
-
44. Lover Merman
Thai Drama - 0000
No word on this one for a while. Might not be a good sign.
-
45. PT is Love
Korean Drama - 0000, 12 episodes
Long silence on this one as well.
-
46. Light
Taiwanese Drama - 0000, 8 episodes
Yet another series I was SO excited for that seems to have been abandoned. I'm not gonna get my hopes up here and true to accept that it isn't likely to happen at this point.
-
47. Red Peafowl
Thai Drama - 0000
This may actually be canceled. I had it in my top ten before, but since it seems the company may have bit off more than it could chew, my hopes for it have drastically lowered. I hope someone more capable picks it up, or that we just get more shows with awesome concepts and casts like it that are actually done well.
-
48. Black forest
Thai Drama - 2024
This may or may not be canceled, because the company situation is a mess, and honestly the photoshopping has me side-eying the entire thing, but we need more dark BL, so I have my fingers crossed that it DOES happen and is better than it looks.
-
49. Mafia Prince & Bookworm
Thai Drama - 2024
Same as the above, this is having some company issues. This seems less likely to be interesting, and I assume it'll lean more toward slice of life with a mafia background, but maybe not. Benefit of the doubt for now.
-
50. Some Nights I Feel Like Walking
Filipino Movie - 0000
This might not be happening. No updates for a while. :( EDIT: Seems to be back on, which is great, but no sign that Kokoy and Elijah are actually in it, which was a big part of the appeal for me.
-
51. Kissable Lips Season 2
Korean Drama - 0000
Mixed feelings here, but we have a criminally low amount of vampire BL (one legit series, one pseudo series, three movies--all of which are weird as hell). We need all the vampire stuff we can get. EDIT: This one might not even come out, but honestly, we're getting four other vampire series aimed for 2024, so I'm excited to see some new interpretations.
-
52. Transplant
Thai Drama - 0000
Despite promises made, it looks like this one will be canceled. Pretty heartbroken over it.
