2025 will be another excellent year for new BL dramas, movies, and anime series. Fans can look forward to various projects from countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Did you know that GMMTV, one of the leading studios in the industry, has dedicated almost the entire year to making BL series or GL series? They realized what was popular with fans and said no more love stories about straight couples for 2025. That's kind of iconic, am I right?
This year marks an important year for LGBTQ+ rights, considering same-sex marriage officially becomes legal in Thailand at the start of 2025. Thailand is now one of the rare countries in Asia, after Taiwan, where this becomes law. Expect marriages and proposals to become a natural part of conversations in Thai BL dramas, which is always a welcomed development. Another country, Nepal, has unfortunately stalled some of the rights granted to married LGBTQ+ couples. This development shows the difficulty in the fight for equality, so don't take anything for granted.
As new dramas come out weekly, I'll update the list of 2025 BL series that have premiered so far. This list will refresh as more shows are completed throughout the year. Let's hope we get lots of BL in the future!
