Dekkoo has announced "Stranger Hearts", a new original series from filmmaker Kevin James Thornton (How To Get From Here To There). Thoughtful, sexy and deeply heartfelt, the new Dekkoo Original Series follows three queer characters from wildly different backgrounds, played by Amo (MTV's "The Challenge", "The Real World: Go Big or Go Home", musician Matt Moran and newcomer Qua Robertson Harper. Though they don't know it, these disparate characters are soon to be connected - through fate, work, family, love...and donuts.

All five episodes of the first season of "Stranger Hearts" will be available beginning March 12th. Dekkoo is available internationally via iTunes, Google Play, Xbox, AppleTV, Xfinity X1 and Roku. In the U.S. and U.K., Dekkoo is also available via Prime Channels.


"I wanted to tell a story about interconnectedness. It's interesting to me that within a minority group like LGBTQ+ there's so many types of people that this could be explored within itself," Thornton said of his first serial work. "I am a queer film maker making queer cinema. I hope viewers will see "Stranger Hearts" and see themselves."
