Earlier this year, Underwood made headlines when he came out as gay in an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.
In the highly publicised sit down, he said that he came to terms with his sexuality due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. “Obviously this year’s been a lot for a lot of people, and it’s probably made a lot of people look themselves in the mirror and figure out who they are and what they’ve been running from and putting off in their lives,” he admitted.
Shortly after coming out, he announced a new Netflix series titled Coming Out Colton – which is an unscripted six-episode series that follows his journey as a recently out gay man.
