Netflix has released a trailer for the animated series ‘Exploding Kittens‘, which features ‘Lucifer’s Tom Ellis as the voice of “God” (trapped in the body of a chubby house cat…), and is as wonderfully bonkers as you would hope it would be!
After a meeting in heaven, there is a general consensus that Earth sucks, so God (Ellis) gets fired and sent to Earth to reconnect with humanity. The catch? He’s trapped in the body of a chubby house cat.
As part of Godcat’s rehabilitation, he moves in with a dysfunctional family and tries to solve their problems, but ends up spending a lot of time chasing laser pointers. And to top it off, Godcat’s next-door neighbour, who is also a cat, turns out to be none other than his nemesis, the Antichrist. The result is the ultimate fight between good versus evil…except, Godcat is distracted by a pigeon he saw in the yard and Devilcat (Sasheer Zamata – Woke, Home Economics) is busy napping on someone’s laptop.
Additional voice cast includes Suzy Nakamura (Modern Family, Avenue 5), Mark Proksch (What We Do In The Shadows, Better Call Saul), Ally Maki (Wrecked, Toy Story 4), and Kenny Yates (Return to Monkey Island, ReBroken).
Based on the best-selling card game, ‘Exploding Kittens’ is an animated comedy series from (clearly disturbed minds of) showrunners Shane Kosakowski (‘You’re the Worst’, ‘The Muppets’, ‘Archer’) and Matthew Inman (founder of the card game, and creator of The Oatmeal comics). It is also executive produced by Mike Judge (‘King of the Hill’, ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’), Greg Daniels (‘Upload’, ‘Parks and Recreation’) and Dustin Davis of Bandera Entertainment. Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping exec produce for the Chernin Entertainment Group, with executive producers and creators of the Exploding Kittens franchise, Elan Lee and Inman.
‘Exploding Kittens‘ Season 1 premieres in July 2024 on Netflix UK and worldwide. If you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
