Q-Force LGBTQ animated spy series ordered at Netflix
----------------------------------------------------
Deadline brings word that Netflix has greenlit the half-hour
adult animated comedy-series Q-Force with a 10-episode order.
The LGBTQ show comes from Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) and Todd
Milliner's (Grimm) Hazy Mills, marking their first animated
and streaming series, Gabe Liedman (Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
PEN15), Mike Schur's (The Office, The Good Place, Brooklyn
Nine-Nine) Fremulon, and Universal TV.
Q-Force follows a handsome secret agent and his team of
fellow LGBTQ superspies. Constantly underestimated by their
colleagues, the members of Q-Force have to prove themselves
time and again as they embark on extraordinary professional
and personal adventures.
"A spy TV series is so tough, because they're so expensive.
We were thinking how do we get to do gay spy and every week,
and the only way to do that is animated, because we can do
all of the fun parts of a James Bond film. We can travel, we
can have big chase sequences; animation is allowing us that
freedom," said Milliner.
Added Hayes, "Also, I don't know that the studios would
greenlight a feature with a leading character that's gay in
that genre. Hopefully they will, but that doesn't seem like
right now."
"It does seem like it's one of the last bastions of
masculinity that seems like we can't break the rule of who
gets to play that part," said Milliner.
Liedman serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer
on the series. Schur, Hayes, and Milliner will executive
produce alongside David Miner for 3 Arts. Universal TV will
co-produce with Hazy Mills, Fremulon, and 3 Arts
Entertainment.
