Grab the remote, set your DVR or queue up your streaming service of choice! GLAAD is bringing you the highlights in LGBTQ on TV this week. Check back every Sunday for up-to-date coverage in LGBTQ-inclusive programming on TV.

Starz’ American Gods airs their third episode on Sunday, which features a love story between gay Muslim immigrant Salim (Omid Abtahi) and a mystical Jinn (Mousa Kraish). This story, part of the show’s recurring “Somewhere in America” segment which highlights a different immigrant story each episode, shows that the story of two gay Muslim men is undoubtedly part of the portrait of America. American Gods, based on the novel of the same name, follows ex-con Shadow who is hired to be the bodyguard of the mysterious Mr. Wednesday. He comes to find that magic is real and Wednesday is on a quest to unite the Old Gods to reclaim their legacies and stop the advancement of the New Gods like Technology and Media. American Gods: Sunday, 9pm on Starz.

The third season of the Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will be released on the streaming service on Friday. The new season continues to follow Kimmy’s adventures as she tries to fit into the adult world, and will feature plenty of fan favorite Titus (Titus Burgess) and the ups-and-downs of his relationship with construction worker Mikey (Mike Carlson). Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Friday, on Netflix.
