Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York S1

In the early 1990s, with homophobia and hate crimes on the rise as the Aids crisis worsened, a serial killer preyed upon gay men in New York City, infiltrating the city’s vibrant queer nightlife to find his victims.

Rotten Tomatoes’ best-reviewed docuseries of 2023, the HBO documentary mini-series Last Call: When A Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York is a gripping investigative crime story that delves into how deep-rooted biases in the criminal justice system, the media and the public’s perception of the victims undermined the investigation and enabled a brutal killer to prey on a marginalised community.

Winner of the 2024 Dorian Award for Best LGBTQ TV Documentary and nominated at the Queerties, Last Call has a coveted 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In their five-star review, The Guardian hailed it as “a masterclass in righteous, savvy TV... Thoughtful, tender, enraging: this vivid documentary … keeps the victims at its heart – and shows that dangerous homophobia is no thing of the past.”

South African Oscar winner Charlize Theron is one of the executive producers.
