Now Apocalypse (2019)

New Queer Cinema pioneer Greg Araki followed up his neon-tinged cinematic apocalypse in Kaboom with Now Apocalypse, a successor in spirit. Avan Jogia plays Ulysses Zane, living in sun-soaked California with his best friend Carly (Kelli Berglund), a struggling actress and sex worker. He keeps having bizarre dreams about an alien invasion that feel increasingly like they might be premonitions, or possibly just anxiety delusions brought on by too much weed. The show only lasted one season and never quite made it to its own prophesied apocalypse, but it was definitely fun while it lasted, and definitely offers something a bit to the left of the typical dreary end-of-the-world. It's a comedy dystopia, just sweatier and hornier than usual.
