Wilson Cruz young!+Gay Character TV Show On Sundance Resurrected

Critically-acclaimed US television show My So-Called life will be aired on America's Sundance channel – fifteen years after its untimely cancellation.

The legendary series, which created a blueprint for the touchy-feely teen genre back in 1994, launched the careers of both Claire Danes and Jared Leto.

Despite only lasting one season, the cult series is still widely regarded as one of the best to emerge from America in the nineties – not least because of its coverage of teen homosexuality, years before it was a hot topic of debate.

Created by the executives behind Thirtysomething, MSCL was also the very first prime-time US television show to feature a regular gay teen character in the shape of Rickie Vasquez, played by Wilson Cruz (pictured with Danes).

“We love My So-Called Life because it’s both substantive and engaging,” Sarah Bennett,Sundance general manager, said in a statement.

“We’re delighted to bring back the series for the passionate audience that adored the show when it first premiered and we’re thrilled to introduce it to a whole new audience that can enjoy it for the first time. The timeless stories hold up brilliantly.”

In 1995, Danes won a Golden Globe award for her role in the show at the age of just fifteen.
