Single, Out is an Australian comedy drama television series created by Lee Galea and produced by Indie Melbourne Productions. The series follows Adam, a young man who comes out as gay following his first sexual experience.[1]
Plot
[edit]When Adam falls in love with his brother's best friend, Josh, he learns to embrace his true identity and comes out to his family. However, when he decides to change the theme of his upcoming art exhibition, it becomes apparent that Adam and Josh have different expectations. Meanwhile, we follow Adam at work and while hanging out with his friends as he embarks on a self-discovery journey.[2]
Production
[edit]Galea wrote the first draft of Single, Out in August 2020 while in lockdown in Melbourne. In the same month he had cast Will Hutchins, Steven Christou and Jake Hyde to play the leads in the show. Most of the rehearsals were done via Zoom.
The filming of season 1 began on March 3, 2021, and concluded in July 2021.[3][4] The series was mostly self financed by Galea with the help of family, friends and crowdfunding via Kickstarter campaigns. Season 2 began filming on September 11, 2022,[5][6] with the first three episodes premiering at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival on November 17, 2023.[7]

[edit]A trailer for the series was released on November 28, 2021.[8] It premiered at the North American OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival on October 15, 2022, and was available for streaming from October 16 to October 19, 2022.[9] Its Australian debut was held at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival on November 12, 2022.[10] The episodes were part of various other film festivals. The series was also featured on all Qantas flights from February 2023 to celebrate Sydney WorldPride 2023.[11]
Season 1 finally became available to a wider audience on the American LGBTQ+ streaming service Here TV on August 11, 2023, branded as a Here TV Exclusive series.[12] In the United Kingdom, the season was made available to buy through Amazon Prime, iTunes and Google TV.[13][14][15] In late 2023, the show was also released on iTunes, Apple TV, Google TV and YouTube in Australia and various other countries.[16][17][18] The DVD of season 1 was released on September 19, 2023, in America and Canada.[1] On November 8, 2023, the show started airing weekly on OutTV in The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Israel and Spain.[19][20] In December 2023, season 1 became available for streaming on OUTFILM in Poland.[21]
All seven episodes of season 2 screened for the first time on December 8, 2023, at The Line in Melbourne.[22] Starting from March 8, 2024, the second season was made available for weekly streaming on Here TV in both the United States and Canada.[23][24] Filming for season 3 started on September 25, 2023, following a new Kickstarter campaign, although a release date hasn't been set.[25][26][27] Principal photography for the season concluded on January 23, 2024.[28] On 17 April 2025, it was reported that the fourth season had completed filming and that editing had begun.[29]
