Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' will soon get a modern Netflix adaptation with a twist - LGBTQ Nation
Briefly

Katie Rose Rogers, the writer and co-producer of the upcoming series "The Grays", aims to adapt Oscar Wilde's classic while deeply embedding it within the aesthetics of today's beauty industry, making it a significant departure from the original work.
By recasting the main characters Dorian and Basil as siblings, "The Grays" raises intriguing questions about how these changes will affect the story's inherent themes of beauty, desire, and sexuality, challenging traditional narratives associated with Wilde's work.
Driven by a strong LGBTQ+ perspective, this new adaptation seeks to explore the homoerotic elements more openly than previous versions, potentially redefining the relationships and themes within "The Picture of Dorian Gray" for contemporary audiences.
With Greg Berlanti, an established figure in queer representation in media, at the helm of "The Grays", audiences can expect a thoughtful interpretation that honors Wilde's original themes while presenting a modern twist aimed at today’s viewers.
