Roomies

Ready made
2 seasons16 episodes25 min

Roomies is a coming-of-age dramedy about friendship, identity, and the messy transition into adulthood, with a queer twist.

Bibi and Ama, two lesbian friends with wildly different personalities, move in together in Brussels to face their final year of college (Season 1) and, later, the unpredictable world of post-grad life (Season 2). From awkward job hunts to romantic misfires and budget ramen dinners, the pair navigate love, careers, and personal growth, all while trying to figure out what being an adult actually means.

Heartfelt, witty, and refreshingly authentic, Roomies explores queer friendship beyond clichés, and captures the humor and chaos of figuring it all out, one cramped apartment at a time.
