The Queer Explorer (French: Les voyages de Nicky) is a French documentary television show on France 5 that debuted on August 29, 2023.[1][2][3] The series follows Nicky Doll as she explores queer communities and gender expression around the world. The first season consists of four episodes that showcase queer culture, LGBT rights and activism, and the art of drag in India, Greece, Mexico, and Japan.[4][5] On August 30, 2023, CAN'T STOP media announced that they have acquired the global distribution rights to the series.[6]

In an interview with Elle, Nicky Doll credited Anthony Bourdain and her own exposure to different cultures while living in France, Saint Martin, and Morocco as the inspiration for the show.[7] The series was one of two documentaries selected for France 5's 2023 summer programming out of 232 candidates.[8]
