When Netflix first introduced Q-Force again in 2019, the animated collection seemed like a queer sendup of the James Bond franchise and different tales about hypermasculine superspies which have been fixtures within the style house for many years. But Q-Force’s first trailer makes it fairly clear that the vitality it’s going for is much less 007 and extra Totally Spies, aimed on the nearing-middle-age adults who first watched that collection when it was first airing again in 2001.

Q-Force’s trailer introduces Steve Maryweather (Sean Hayes), a former member of the American Intelligence Agency who was as soon as considered one of its most valued property till he got here out of the closet. After the AIA tries to write down off Maryweather, aka “Agent Mary,” by assigning him to their West Hollywood department, he rejects the group’s plans to reduce his abilities and varieties his personal ragtag group. They embody fellow queer geniuses like mechanics specialist Deb (Wanda Sykes), a disguise skilled whose identify is actually simply Twink (Matt Rogers), and Stat (Patti Harrison), the squad’s tech skilled. Rounding out Q-Force is Agent Buck (David Harbour), the only straight man counted amongst them who’s solely on the group as a result of the AIA requires it even if everybody else is completely able to doing their jobs.

Q-Force appears to have a equally raunchy vitality to it that Netflix’s Super Drags did. But the place that collection’ outsized characters tended to really feel extra like a understanding try at lovingly poking enjoyable at queer tradition whereas specializing in the subversion of gender, Q-Force’s premise and the jokes within the trailer come throughout like a way more tame and recognizable go on the form of queer pandering the present itself calls out. Trailers may be deceiving, and Q-Force may find yourself having one thing attention-grabbing to say when it premieres, however it received’t seemingly be a part of this 12 months’s Pride discourse, because the present doesn’t hit Netflix till September 2.
