The upcoming HBO docuseries, Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York, delves into the chilling murders that took place in New York City, targeting gay men in a supposed safe space for the queer community. Directed by Anthony Caronna, this four-episode documentary is set to premiere on HBO and Max on July 9.
Based on Elon Green’s best-selling 2021 book, “Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York,” this documentary explores the murder cases that occurred during the vibrant nightlife of early 1990s New York, shedding light on the prejudices faced by the LGBTQ+ community at that time. The trailer features interviews with the families and friends of the victims, whose lives were tragically cut short simply because they were queer.
In addition to the victims’ stories, the documentary also highlights the efforts of activists and organizations such as the NYC Anti-Violence Project, who worked tirelessly to raise awareness about and address the attacks against the community. The serial killer in question infiltrated the queer-dominated nightlife scene, using it as a means to easily identify his next victim. His motive was deeply rooted in homophobia.
One of the darkest chapters in queer history, this documentary aims to remember and acknowledge the injustice and systemic failures that allowed these crimes to occur. By examining the media’s blind perception of the marginalized community and the justice system’s failure to protect them, Last Call exposes the need for change and the community’s unwavering fight for safety and equal rights.
The docuseries is executive produced by Howard Gertler, alongside Anthony Caronna, Elon Green, Charlize Theron, Liz Garbus, Dan Cogan, Jon Bardin, Kate Barry, Beth Kono, Tina Nguyen, Matt Maher, Lisa Heller, Aj Dix, Nancy Abraham, and Lisa Heller.
