Check out the trailer for Season 2 of Finding Fire Island, the GLAAD-nominated documentary series and the first to document the history of Cherry Grove and The Fire Island Pines.
Created, executive produced, and narrated by Jess Rothschild, Finding Fire Island takes us behind the curtain of the mystique and lore of Fire Island and talks to folks who experienced the gay mecca’s evolution from the 1950s to today.
Season Two focuses exclusively on The Pines, famous for its parties and exclusivity. But the series looks beyond the surface to the community who keep the fantasy alive.
The Pines has become a canvas for queer imagination: in its architecture, its music, and the ways its residents come together to create something out of nothing.
The first episode of the new season covers the rituals, house rules, and traditions that shape daily life in The Pines; candid perspectives from Indian and Black voices on belonging in a traditionally cis, white space; and the Doll Invasion, the annual trans takeover festival.
(screen capture from Finding Fire Island Season 2)Alongside longtime community members, Finding Fire Island also features Tony/Emmy Award winner Billy Porter, filmmaker John Waters, Julio Torres (Saturday Night Live), DJ Lina Bradford, Tony-winning producer/choreographer Jerry Mitchell, Peloton’s Cody Rigsby, comedian Jay Jurden, and Fire Island DJ legends Susan Morabito and Robbie Leslie.
The first two episodes of Season two drop today (June 11) to be followed with weekly episodes. Click here to watch Episode One.
