Ricky Gervais has previously appeared in different shows on Netflix, such as The Office, After Life, and Extras.
Now, he has returned with a new show called Alley Cats. It’s an animated series that follows several feral cats, as shown in its first-look image.
In the six-part show, where the British star serves as a creator and voices one of the cats, its synopsis reads, "A slacker sitcom following the trials and tribulations of a group of feral British cats from all walks of society, who seek companionship while ruminating on everyday life.”
Describing his character, Ricky says, “I play a fat, lazy, rude, opinionated creature with fangs, who’s not as smart or brave as he thinks he is. So quite a stretch."
Tom Basden, Andrew Brooke, David Earl, Kerry Godliman, Jo Hartley, Diane Morgan, Natalie Cassidy, and Tony Way have also starred in a movie.
Alley Cats marks the first time Ricky returns as a creator after doing After Life. At the same time, the series is set to debut on Netflix in 2026.
