‘SINGLE ALL THE WAY’ CAST

According to Entertainment Weekly, a gay romance is the center of this upcoming Netflix Christmas movie, Single All the Way. Directed by Michael Mayer the film sees Peter (Michael Urie) convince his best friend Nick (Philemon Chambers) to accompany him home for the holidays and pretend they’re dating. 

Unfortunately, things don’t go too well for Peter when he finds out his mother Carole, (Kathy Najimy) is planning to set him up on a blind date with James (Luke MacFarlane), her spin class instructor. Legally Blonde star Jennifer Coolidge will also make an appearance in the film as Aunt Sandy. 

On what people can expect from this exciting LGBTQI+ Christmas film, Michael Urie said: “Expect pageantry, wine, hunky Santas, a little bit of deception, a whole lotta do-gooding and Jennifer Coolidge.” 

MICHAEL URIE BREAKS DOWN HIS CHARACTER, PETER

Ugly Betty star Michael Urie describes his character as: “a self-described plant-gay – he has a fern named Judith – trapped in a social media job he doesn’t love and is always single when he goes home for the holidays.”

“Peter is the kind of Guncle who has spent many Christmases perfecting choreography to a Britney Spears Christmas song with his nieces. And it is perfect.”

The 41-year-old actor also said Single All the Way is the “gayest” thing since Mariah Carey. 

“Like any good Christmas movie, there will be decorating, there will be mistletoe, there will be sleeveless flannel,” said Urie.
