'Q-Force,' an animated series now on Netflix, is voiced by a predominantly queer cast of Hollywood heavyweights, including Sean Hayes and Wanda Sykes. - NBCOUT
After knocking the idea around for months, Liedman came up with the basic premise for “Q-Force,” an adult animated series that centers on a misfit and undervalued squad of LGBTQ secret agents — voiced by a predominantly queer cast of Hollywood heavyweights — and both subverts and embraces the tropes of the action-adventure genre.
After a decade of waiting for an official mission from the AIA, Mary becomes hellbent on proving himself to the agency that turned its back on him, and the Q-Force decides to solve a case on its own terms. But when they are reluctantly promoted in the field, the members must put up with a new and unruly member of the squad: Agent Rick Buck , who is Mary’s old rival and identifies as straight.
“Twink is based on, like, a thousand people,” he added, laughing. “I have a lot of people in my life who I love, who are very femme, cis, gay guys, who are brilliantly energetic and self-assured in these ways that I really admire and really wanted to put that onscreen and just say, ‘Yeah, even if you’re made fun of for being like this, you’re actually awesome.’”
Over the course of the first season, Liedman said he “wanted to tell stories that felt like they were a fantasy, because the show exists in this completely made-up, crazy world." But he still felt that it was important to ground the show in issues that directly affect the community, such as the violence and discrimination against queer people and the harmful practice of conversion therapy.
