Ricky Gervais' 'Alley Cats': A Feline Comedy Series Coming to Netflix!
Ricky Gervais is set to bring his love for cats and colorful language to a new animated series on Netflix. The show, titled "Alley Cats," features a group of feral felines engaging in humorous and sometimes outrageous conversations. The trailer gives a glimpse into the show's irreverent humor, showcasing the cats' unique personalities and offbeat interactions.
Unlike traditional cat-themed cartoons, "Alley Cats" takes a more adult-oriented approach, with the cats discussing topics that are far from family-friendly. The series, described as a "slacker sitcom," follows the lives of a diverse group of British cats as they navigate everyday challenges and seek companionship in their own quirky ways.
The voice cast for "Alley Cats" includes familiar names from Gervais' previous projects, such as Tom Basden, Andrew Brooke, and Kerry Godliman. Gervais himself lends his voice to one of the main characters, a fat, lazy, and opinionated cat with a sharp tongue. The series promises to deliver a fresh and entertaining take on animated comedy, with a mix of humor and heart.
Co-directed by Elliot Dear and produced by Blink Industries, "Alley Cats" showcases the talent and creativity of the U.K.-based animation studio. Gervais, along with Steven Hamilton Shaw, serves as an executive producer for the series, bringing his signature wit and humor to the project. The show is a welcome return to television for Gervais, following the success of his previous series "After Life."
With its bold humor and unique premise, "Alley Cats" is poised to be a standout addition to Netflix's animated lineup. Fans of Gervais' work can look forward to a fresh and hilarious take on the lives of these unconventional feline characters. Stay tuned for the premiere of "Alley Cats" on August 7 and get ready to embark on a wild and wacky adventure with this mischievous group of cats.
