When will Invisible Boys air?

The new series is dropping on February 13, exclusively on Stan. Those of us who love a good binge-watch will be happy to hear that all ten episodes will be dropping at the same time.

What is the series about?

The adaptation was written for the screen by a bunch of queer writers and highlights facets of gay sexuality that are often overlooked.

It’s set in 2017—the same year that same-sex marriage was legalised in Australia and explores the challenges faced by a group of gay teens in the remote coastal town of Geraldton, Western Australia, after one of them is outed for sleeping with a married man.

Invisible Boys follows the tight-knit relationship between the group of friends as they find solace and support in one another and explore their desires and identities in a world that isn’t outrightly accepting.

Who’s in the Invisible Boys cast?

The cast includes Joseph Zada (East of Eden), Aydan Calafiore (The Voice 2018), Zach Blampied(New Gold Mountain), Joe Klocek (Territory), Pia Miranda (Stan Original Film Windcatcher) and David Lyons (Truth Be Told).
