Another week, anotherNetflixcancellation. This time it appears that Netflix has decided to cancel Q-Force, following its premiere on the platform nine months prior.

Q-Force tells the story of Steve Maryweather, AKA Agent Mary, who was once the Golden Boy of the American Intelligence Agency (AIA) until he came out as gay. Unable to fire him, the Agency send him to West Hollywood to disappear into obscurity. Instead, Steve assembles a misfit squad of LGBTQ+ geniuses that sees him join forces with the expert mechanic Deb, master of drag and disguise Twink and hacker Stat, who altogether make up Q-Force.

The show featured several notable names from Hollywood, including Sean Hayes of Will & Grace fame, David Harbour fromStranger Thingsand Wanda Sykes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Check out the trailer for the show below:

“It did not get a second season,” confirmed Rogers, when speaking as part of theAttitudespodcast. He did, however, note that he was proud of what was released and believed it did a good job with representation.

Since the first trailer was released in August 2021, the show received heavy criticism for its stereotypical portrayals of the LGBQT+ community. This did not change much once the show debuted in September with the show sitting at a 29% rating from critics onRotten Tomatoes. Whether or not this played a part in the show’s cancellation is unknown at this point. T3 has reached out to Netflix for comment.

Netflix hascancelled more than a dozen showsalready this year withSnowpiercerbeing the latest series to be shown the door, although this one was not down to streamer directly. This follows confirmation that to make up its lost subscriber count, Netflix is officiallybringing adsto the platform, potentially before the end of 2022. We’ll have to wait and see if this decision helps shows receive a longer lifespan.
