A giant alien!!

it’s not what you think.

Ten years ago, a small, independent team of filmmakers and actors in Vancouver, Canada, made history. We created The Switch, the world’s first television show with a predominantly transgender cast in leading roles, created and produced by a transgender showrunner. It was a TV comedy about work, love, and the beautifully messy reality of life in uncertain times, centered on a community of trans and gender-nonconforming characters.

The Switch was a labour of community love, produced for a tiny fraction of the cost of a network show. It found a home on OUTtv in Canada and broadcasters in Europe, earning a brief streaming run in the US. But its creators always knew its reach was limited by traditional television. The people who needed its message most—the young trans person in a small town, the ally seeking understanding, the family member wanting to connect—never had the chance to see it.

Today, that changes. And in these times, it has to.

We have entered an era of unprecedented, open hostility towards transgender people. In the United States, the United Kingdom, and around the globe, authoritarians and oligarchs scapegoat trans people, pushing discriminatory laws and hate, until the very existence of trans individuals is threatened. The need for joyful, authentic trans stories has never been more urgent.

That is why we, the producers of The Switch, are taking an unprecedented step - another world first. We are officially placing the entire series into the Creative Commons, making it history's first TV show to be given this status by its creators

What does this mean? It means The Switch is now yours. It’s free for everyone, forever.

We are making the show available in every way we can, to ensure it reaches every corner of the internet:

Stream it now on Vimeo, YouTube, and Tubi.

Download it directly from our website.

Share and Pirate it far and wide. We wholeheartedly encourage you to share it on torrent sites. Share it. Pirate it. Post it. The more people who see it, the better.

Our goal is no longer to profit from this series, but to profit the community it represents. We believe in the power of stories. We believe in the power of seeing yourself on screen. We believe that trans joy is a radical, beautiful, and necessary act of resistance.

The Switch was ahead of its time, but its time is now. Help us spread this message of hope. Watch the show, share it with your friends, your family, your community, and anyone who you think needs to see it.

The revolution will not be televised; it will be streamed, downloaded, and shared.
