Q-Force: Netflix cancels LGBTQ series after just one season

Netflix has yet again cancelled another show, with animated comedy Q-Force taking the fall after just one series.

Viewers were pulled into the world of LGBTQ secret agents, as they attempt to prove themselves to the agency that underestimated them.

The plot followed Steve Maryweather (played by Sean Hayes), a secret agent for the American Intelligence Agency (AIA), who was shipped away after coming out as gay to his superiors.

In protest of this decision, Steve recruits an all-star team of agents who have also been given the same treatment, to prove their worth to the AIA.

The cast includes Patti Harrison as Stat, Wanda Sykes as Deb, David Harbour as Rick, Gary Cole as Director Dirk Chunley, and Laurie Metcalf as V.

Despite an impressive cast, and a respectable audience score of 78 percent on Rotten Tomatoes - the low viewership is the main reason Q-Force has now been cancelled on Netflix.

News of the cancellation was first discussed in May, when writer Matt Rogers appeared as a guest on an episode of Attitudes! podcast.

He said: “The people that loved it really loved it, and the good news is that it will always be on Netflix. It did not get a second season, but it is out there and it exists.”

Rogers “loved” playing the character Twink and said “it was so fun to be able to bring joy to something”.

Fans can watch the 10-episode long series on Netflix as long as it remains on the streaming platform, but it will not return for a second season.

Q-force joins a host of other shows that have recently been cancelled by Netflix, as the streaming platform faces financial and subscriber problems.

Netflix has been one of the corporate victims of the cost of living crisis, with hundreds of thousands of users quitting to the service to keep up with mounting expenses.

It has sped up plans to introduce a cheaper subscription plan in a bid to retain customers, after its quarterly figures revealed it had lost 200,000 people in just three months.

They said they expect to lose two million more in the second quarter, as the share price fell significantly, wiping away roughly $70billion in total.
