Netflix has announced its upcoming adult animated comedy titled Alley Cats, created by Emmy and BAFTA winner Ricky Gervais (noted for his work on After Life, Extras, The Office), which is set to premiere in 2026.

The series boasts an impressive voice cast featuring Ricky Gervais, Tom Basden, Andrew Brooke, David Earl, Kerry Godliman, Jo Hartley, Diane Morgan, along with Natalie Cassidy and Tony Way.

Alley Cats is described as a slacker-style sitcom that chronicles the escapades of a group of feral British cats as they seek companionship while reflecting on life’s mundane aspects. This series, produced in 2D animation by the award-winning Blink Industries (known for Dead End: Paranormal Park and Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared), is expected to feature Gervais’ signature blend of humor, heart, and societal commentary.

The series will consist of six episodes, each approximately 15 minutes long, co-directed by Ricky Gervais and Elliot Dear, with production design by Tang Heng (known for Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2). The executive producers include Gervais from Derek Productions and Steven Hamilton Shaw from Shush Creative, recognized for Gnomeo & Juliet.

Creator and Director Ricky Gervais commented, “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.”
