For the past year or so, Matthew Wilkas has mainly been seen being obscenely cute (and hot) alongside his fiance, Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy. Now he’s reunited with his Gaybe co-star and real-life bestie, Jenn Harris, for the new web series New York Is Dead.

They’ve also got a bit of famous help behind the camera, as Queer As Folk US’s Randy Harrison directs, and also pops up for a cameo. There’s also time for an appearance from Bebe Neuwirth.

The show itself is, ‘a new comedy web series about Felix and Cathy (Wilkas and Harris), two down on their luck New York City Artists, who become hired killers to make ends meet’.

New York is Dead – which is planning six episodes for its first season – premiered last week at the Tribeca Film Festival. You can watch the pilot episode below. [Read more…]

Set to premiere next month as SxSW in Austin, Texas and based on Jonathan Lisecki’s 2010 Slamdance award-winning short, Gayby is about Jenn and Matt, best friends from college who are now in their thirties. Single by choice, Jenn spends her days teaching hot yoga and running errands for her boss. Matt suffers from comic-book writer’s block and can’t get over his ex-boyfriend. They decide to fulfill a youthful promise to have a child together… the old fashioned way. Can they navigate the serious and unexpected snags they hit as they attempt to get their careers and dating lives back on track in preparation for parenthood? Gayby is an irreverent comedy about friendship growing older, sex, loneliness, and the family you choose. There’s no release set as yet.
