He told Out: “I’m currently writing my very first adult novel. It’s really smutty, really creepy, very gay. I will be cancelled when it comes out. It’s been nice knowing you.”
Colfer also joked about the rising popularity of queer romance on screen, giving a shoutout to Heated Rivalry, as he teased fans with what’s to come.
“I don’t know how many surgeries it would take for me to look like that,” he joked, “but I’m willing to find out.
“Is that too much to ask for? Even AI couldn’t give me an a*** like that. It’s extraordinary.”
The novel is expected to be released in summer 2027.
