The award-winning LGTB micro-series HIDDEN CANYONS is back for season 2.
The 1-minute soap opera follows strangers’ lives in steamy and fast episodes which end on wild cliffhangers. The show has found a way to revolutionize the way people consume narrative content, while supporting the voices of the LGBTQ+ community. The series is written, produced, and directed by Brant Rotnem, and co-directed by Fawzia Mirza.
The cast includes Sufe Bradshaw (VEEP’s Sue Wilson), Daytime-Emmy-nominee Sean Samuels (GIANTS the Series), Tonatiuh (VIDA’s Marcos Zamora), Jeremy Glazer (Rust Creek, Modern Family, 9-1-1), Brant Rotnem (13 Reasons Why), Jackson Davis (VIDA, NCIS), Jamie Renee Smith (Weeds, True Blood), and Sean-James Murphy (Danger 5, Neighbors).

The bingeable first season won best “episodic” at Outfest 2020 and garnered over 3.5M views on TikTok. Creator Brant Rotnem and his team of talented actors created an opportunity for himself and his community. While many wildly talented LGBTQ+ artists struggle to find space for their voice in the film industry, it seems Brant and his team have found an avenue through the micro-narrative on social media. Today, people are already used to consuming bits of strangers’ lives through snippets on social media – Brant and his team thought, how cool would it be if we added a bit of narrative?
The show is the latest in Hollywood’s move toward shorter content production. With the success of short-form series on YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook Live, and Quibi, productions are adapting to shrinking attention spans. Hidden Canyons follows the trend to its next logical step: bite-sized TV, meant to be consumed in less than the time it takes to brush your teeth.
