HBO Max's 'Generation' Reshapes TV's Stories Of Queer Teens

Gen Z is more LGBTQ-inclusive than older generations — and shows like HBO Max's "Generation" are paying attention.

"Generation" is one of HBO Max's newest additions to its slate of Gen Z teen dramas. The series centers the perspectives of mostly queer teens exploring their sexuality, friendships and relationships through the modern world of social media and social justice.  Actress Lukita Maxwell plays Deliliah, an activist teen involved in her high school's Gay-Straight Alliance.  Actress Lukita Maxwell: "It was very apparent from the first script read in the pilot, that it was going to be depicted in a very new kind of revolutionary way in terms of young, queer POV. And I was just very excited to be a part of it."
