Amazon Plans James Bond Spinoff Shows, Producers Reject Ideas

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the longtime stewards of the James Bond franchise, recently sold creative rights to Amazon, sparking concerns among fans about potential over-commercialization of the iconic series. Amazon has pitched several spinoff ideas, including a series focused on Miss Moneypenny and another featuring Bond's friend, Felix Leiter, both of which were rejected by Broccoli and Wilson. The producers expressed reluctance to shift their focus from film to television, emphasizing the significant commitment required for a series. With Broccoli and Wilson stepping back, Amazon now has the freedom to explore these concepts further without their oversight. Additionally, there were discussions about a possible female 007, a topic that could ignite significant debate among fans. As the franchise moves forward under Amazon's control, the future of these proposed spinoffs remains uncertain.
