Finally.

Amazon Prime has finally given the go ahead for a brand new lesbian docu-series, and honestly we’re surprised it wasn’t sooner.

Amazon announced yesterday that a new group of friends are heading to the streaming service, and it’s all about their lives in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Green lighting the latest series, Tampa Baes, it will feature eight episodes where the girls navigate their way through life in Florida’s “ever-growing gay hotspot.”

It’s set to come to Amazon Prime this autumn, but no exact release date has been announced yet.

Amazon described the series in a release, saying: “The young lesbian ‘it-crowd’ navigating and celebrating life in Tampa Bay – Florida’s LGBTQ+ hub and the place to see and be seen. Always ready for an adventure or a good party, this group of loyal friends — and sometimes more than friends — is ambitious and unapologetic while constantly battling stereotypes and labels.

“With all eyes on these fun-loving women at this pivotal moment in their personal and professional lives, there’s not a challenge or hot-button issue they won’t tackle, even if it means getting real with each other.”

The cast is made up of Ali Myers, Nelly Ramirez, Shiva Pishdad, Jordan Whitley, Marissa Gialousis, Summer Mitchell, Cuppie Bragg, Brianna Murphy, Haley Grable, Melanie Posner, Olivia Mullins and Mack McKenzie, so there’s always going to be something happening to keep us entertained with this lot.
