Ricky Gervais is returning to television with Alley Cats, a new adult animated comedy that follows a gang of feral British cats from different walks of life. Created by Gervais, the six-episode Netflix series marks his latest collaboration with several familiar faces from his previous projects.

If many of the voices sound familiar, there is a good reason. Gervais has once again assembled a cast featuring several of his longtime collaborators, alongside a handful of well-known British television stars, giving Alley Cats an ensemble packed with comedy experience.

Ricky Gervais leads the series as Gus, one of the central cats, while Diane Morgan voices Olive, David Earl plays Puke, Tom Basden lends his voice to Ponce, and Andrew Brooke voices Fang. The cast is rounded out by Kerry Godliman, Tony Way, Jo Hartley, and Natalie Cassidy, all of whom bring years of British comedy and television experience to the animated series.

For fans of Gervais' work, several of these reunions will feel especially familiar. Diane Morgan and David Earl previously shared the screen with him in After Life, while Kerry Godliman also played a key role in the acclaimed Netflix comedy-drama. Tom Basden is known for Plebs, Natalie Cassidy remains a household name thanks to EastEnders, and Tony Way, Jo Hartley, and Andrew Brooke have built impressive careers across British television and film.

While the voice cast is packed with familiar faces, Alley Cats is more than just a reunion of Ricky Gervais' longtime collaborators. The animated comedy also offers a distinctly British take on friendship, survival, and everyday life through the eyes of its unlikely feline protagonists.

Alley Cats is set against the backdrop of Britain; it follows a group of feral cats from different backgrounds as they search for companionship while reflecting on the strange realities of everyday life. Each episode runs for approximately 15 minutes, with Gervais serving as the series' creator, writer, co-director, and executive producer.

With Gervais once again pairing his signature observational humor with an ensemble filled with trusted collaborators, Alley Cats promises the kind of sharp, character-driven comedy that longtime fans have come to expect. Whether viewers are tuning in for the creator himself or the impressive supporting cast, the Netflix animated comedy brings together plenty of familiar talent under one roof.
