Sean Hayes Is Producing a 'Gay James Bond' Animated Series for Netflix

Will & Grace star Sean Hayes is executive producing Q-Force, a "gay James Bond" animated series coming soon to Netflix!

According to Deadline, "Q-Force is a half-hour, animated comedy about a handsome secret agent," (who will most likely be played by Hayes himself) "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."

The series has been in the works for quite some time, Deadline reports. Broad City writer Gabe Liedman and Parks and Recreation executive producer Mike Schur are also on board for the project. 

"I’ve been friends with Mike for a long, long, long time," said Hayes. "And I was literally driving my car to work, and he was walking. I pulled over and I rolled down my window and I said. 'Hey Mike, would you want to work on something together?' He’s like, 'What is it?' And I said 'Gay James Bond,' and he said, 'Yeah, I would do that.' So that’s how it all kind of started."

Hayes and executive producer Todd Milliner also pointed out how hard it is for a series like this to get greenlit.

"A spy TV series is so tough, because they’re so expensive," said Milliner. "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."

Hayes added, "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," Milliner concluded. 

We have no idea what to expect from the upcoming series, but this GIF is the first thing I think of when I hear "Gay James Bond."
