The third season of docuseries “It Got Better,” a collaboration between the creative team of Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky’s Is Or Isn’t Entertainment and Dan Savage and his It Gets Better Project, premieres today on Lexus’ digital content channel L/Studio (LStudio.com).
Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning It Gets Better Project and the Emmy-nominated “Who Do You Think You Are?”, the series shares LGBT celebrities’ personal stories of overcoming obstacles while putting their struggles and successes in historical context. Each of six episodes chronicles the life of a star with a focus on how and when “it got better” for them. This season’s episodes feature actor Sir Ian McKellen; singer/songwriter Adam Lambert; actress and talk show host Raven-Symoné; comedian Wanda Sykes; actress Candis Cayne; and reality TV star EJ Johnson.
“We recognize how important it is to host the inspirational stories shared in the ‘It Got Better’ series to reach a diverse community through our content channel,” said Andrea Lim, Lexus digital communications manager who oversees L/Studio. “We’re honored to work with talented luminaries, such as the creative team behind this series, and equally proud to offer artists a forum to convey their unique perspectives.”
“‘It Got Better’ grew out of our desire to create an original series with personal and inspirational messages by a diverse range of successful LGBT celebrities sharing their emotional experiences of overcoming obstacles,” said Dan Bucatinsky, producer of “It Got Better.” “This season more than any other includes such a wide range of stories from racially diverse women and men, aged 20s to 70s, Trans and gay. We’re grateful to L/Studio, a platform that encourages that kind of diversity of storytelling.”
All six videos are now available on LStudio.com and YouTube. The series will also be syndicated across Here Media channels.
