Most people try to avoid being the third wheel; lately, I’ve been making it my job. While I’ve spent my career helping partners improve their relationships, my most recent project has invited me to flip the literal script.

This June, get ready for @queersextherapy content like you’ve never seen before.

A Different Kind of Relationship Show

I love Queer Ultimatum and The L Word as much as the next guy, but last year, I started craving a show that highlights the wisdom (not just the drama) of queer love. And after a roller coaster of excitement, self-doubt, possibility, and fear…I decided to make that show myself.  I’m calling it Third Wheel.

Making love work as the world burns is no easy feat, so in Third Wheel, I set out to learn how partners are sustaining their connection in 2026. In each episode, I invite real relationships to take center stage, tag along for a few intimate activities, and uncover lessons the rest of us can bring back to our own love lives.

The Partners are the Experts

Most of the insight I carry as a therapist comes from my clients, so in Third Wheel, the partners are the experts. I’m not there to psychoanalyze (but I am taking notes!) as I learn from the hard-earned wisdom that hides in seemingly ordinary moments between couples.

My all-queer team and I just finished filming Season 1, and trust me…these partners have something to teach all of us about care, communication, and longevity.  My film crew has started to joke about how many times I shed tears while filming each episode; I’ve been so touched by the deep intimacy these lovebirds have shared on the show.

Serious Imposter Syndrome

I never intended to become a producer. When I first had the idea for Third Wheel, I assumed I’d simply be the therapist on set and let a separate team handle production. So I pitched it to several production companies, and even got a couple of offers.

But none of them felt aligned with the vision. Some production companies wanted the couples to be funnier, while others wanted to pull drama from the couples. And while I understand that drama sells, my priority was always making sure we were creating the conditions for something authentic and tender to emerge, and that the partners we worked with felt held in the process. 

And that’s how I ended up executive producing Third Wheel alongside one of my best friends, Sheena Brevig, who happens to be a genius producer/director themselves. I wanted to make a show that left partners feeling proud of the relationships they’ve built together, and I think that we have.

Think: down-to-earth vibes like The Great British Bake Off meets the tenderness of Love on the Spectrum…this isn’t a show you want to miss.
