Ricky Gervais is leading a crowd of feral cats in a new adult animated series for Netflix .
Gervais is behind Netflix’s Alley Cats , which stars a wealth of top British comics including Diane Morgan , Tom Basden and Kerry Godliman. Rounding out cast are Andrew Brooke, David Earl, Jo Hartley, Natalie Cassidy and Tony Way.
Launching next year and produced by Gervais’ Derek Productions with Blink Industries, the 6 x 15-minute series follows the trials and tribulations of a group of feral British cats who seek companionship while ruminating about the struggles of everyday life. The show is “packed with Gervais’ signature style of heart and social commentary,” Netflix said.
“I play a fat, lazy, rude, opinionated creature with fangs, who’s not as smart or brave as he thinks he is.
