Kim Sherwood to write trilogy as first female 007 author, hopes to give a 'feminist perspective'

Author Kim Sherwood is going to write a new trilogy of James Bond books, becoming the first female author in the series of spy novels created by Ian Fleming.

The yet to be titled trilogy's opening instalment is set for release in September 2022 and features a world where Bond is missing and will instead focus on a new generation of 00 agents.

"I want to bring a feminist perspective to the canon, as a young woman writer," she said. "I want to honour what's come before, but also create something new and create a space for all of us to be heroes".

Sherwood also confirmed that "old favourites" including Bond's trusted secretary Ms Moneypenny and spy boss M, will return in the trilogy.

The current James Bond film, ‘No Time to Die’ was Daniel Craig’s last as the spy, and included the writing talents of ‘Fleabag’ creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
