But when Colin unexpectedly moves out on the eve of his 50th birthday, Michael is completely blindsided. Overnight, he has to confront two nightmares: losing the man he thought was his soulmate, and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City.

## Production

On July 26, 2022, Harris stated that “[It’s] not necessarily a singular gay story, but we were able to tell it in a way that feels a little bit universal while still being ridiculous.”

On July 28, 2022, it was mentioned how despite Harris being openly gay for nearly two decades, Michael marks his first gay TV role as a series regular. Although, he memorably guest-starred in Russell T. Davies’ *It’s a Sin* mini-series.

## Trivia

* On July 29, 2022 Tuc Watkins went onto say how, “in most breakup comedies, the couple breaks up, the ex is a jerk and the hero goes on his journey and lives happily ever after”. Watkins then adds how, “this is a different show. *Uncoupled* is about an uncoupling and all that it entails. So we’ll also follow Colin, and we’ll see how that uncoupling affects the people in Michael’s world. And Colin does break up with Michael for a reason. He doesn’t give that reason right away, but there’s a reason, and it does come up later.”
