A closeted gay teenager joins the US Marine Corps in Netflix comedy drama Boots.
Based on the book The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White, the coming-of-age drama follows Cameron Cope and his best friend Ray McAffey as they join the Marines in the 1990s, when being gay in the military was illegal.
Miles Heizer and Liam Oh lead the show’s cast, alongside Vera Farmiga, Max Parker, Cedrick Cooper, Ana Ayora, Angus O’Brien, Dominic Goodman, Nicholas Logan, Kieron Moore, Blake Burt and Rico Paris.
Andy Parker (Tales Of The City) and Jennifer Cecil (The Umbrella Academy) serve as co-showrunners on the series, with Norman Lear as executive producer.
Is Boots season 2 confirmed?
Netflix has not announced whether Boots will return for a second season. A decision on the show’s future will likely be made in the coming weeks.
All eight episodes in the first season were released on October 9, 2025.
What have the cast said about a potential season 2?
Miles Heizer, who plays Cameron, has expressed a desire to continue the series for many more seasons in an interview with Variety.
“There are a lot of stories to tell, from more of Greg [Cope White’s] different experiences in the Marines to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell to when it was repealed,” Heizer said. “I would do it for 10 seasons if they let us.”
As for what direction the show could take, Max Parker, who plays Sergeant Sullivan, said the series could spin off in various ways after the climax of the first season.
“There are so many ways it could go for all of our characters,” Parker told RadioTimes.com. “I love that moment at the end where I hand over the walkie talkie to Cameron and let him know that he’s ready now… Just this battle of what’s right and what’s wrong.
“That moment of handing over the baton for him to carry on… He could be handing himself in, he could be running away, he could do anything.”
