2012•26m

Outland is a six-part comedy series about a gay science fiction fan club and the lives, loves and never-ending dramas of its five members. There’s Max, insecure and looking for love; the sexually-adventurous, muffin-baking Andy; Rae, the moral centre and unofficial head of the group; the high-camp, high-maintenance Fab; and the wealthy, socially-inept Toby. Every meeting collapses into chaos. Fault-lines within the group are exposed and secrets and skeletons come crashing out of the closet. Can science fiction save them all? Outland is a series about belonging, no matter who you are, and how everyone searches to find a place to fit in.

If Rae had more warning that the science fiction meeting was at her house and her ex-girlfriend was coming over, she probably wouldn't have brought home the nude photograph of herself.
