Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have, yet again, said they're not interested in television spinoffs of the James Bond film franchise.

The half-siblings spoke to the entertainment news website, The Wrap.

"From our point of view, we try to focus on making good James Bond pictures and that takes a lot of time and thought — it takes a couple of years working on the script with a director," Wilson told The Wrap. "If we had to make a TV series on top of that and put that same amount of energy into 10 or 20 hours of content, that's a big commitment. So, we'd have to delegate. And we've been very reluctant to delegate."

"We're not a factory," Barbara Broccoli told the website. "Our movies are all hand-made. We've always been a family business and it will remain a family business, so long as we keep breathing."

Eon previously was involved with the syndicated cartoon series James Bond Jr. in the 1990s. Wilson shared a "developed by" credit on that show. The cartoon featured Bond's nephew who encountered classic Bond villains as well as new adversaries. It was produced during the 1989-1995 hiatus in Eon's film series.

The home studio of the Bond series is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It has agreed to be acquired by Amazon for $8.45 billion. The deal still is under regulatory review.
