Exclusive: The fourth and final season of Kit Williamson’s Emmy-nominated Lgbtq series Eastsiders will be available on Netflix on December 1.
Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $140,000 from fans, Eastsiders, a co-production with Wolfe Video, will be back with a fourth season that picks up with the Silver Lake gang one year later. Executive produced by Williamson and his husband John Halbach, who also star, the six-episode Season 4 tackles heavy, adult-world questions like how do two human beings make love last? What does commitment really look like in a long-term relationship? And what unique challenges does a “gay marriage” present?
Cal (Williamson) and Thom (Van Hansis) are back home from Season 3’s cross-country road trip, still a couple but wondering if they are really just best friends with benefits. Douglas (Willam Belli) and Quincy (Stephen Guarino) are engaged to be married, but with very different ideas about what a gay wedding should be.

“If you have an ego in Memphis, it doesn’t last too long,” explained the filmmaker Morgan Jon Fox, though he has every right to one. “People don’t really put up with that here.” In addition to the four features Fox has directed, he has worked closely with Joe Swanberg, Kentucker Audley, Tim Sutton, and Craig Brewer. His first episodic, “Feral,” premiered this fall on Dekkoo, a new streaming site dedicated to hosting gay content; Dekkoo has ordered a second season of the short form drama, citing a thirty percent spike in subscriptions with the release of “Feral.”
