Prime Video has released the official trailer, key art and enormous guest cast list for its adult animated comedy Kevin that debuts all eight episodes on April 20.
Loosely inspired by a real-life break-up and the cat who was caught in the middle, Kevin centers on a housecat trying to find where he belongs. Following the unexpected split of his human “owners,” Kevin breaks up with his humans, relocating to a local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens, where a chaotic group of animals helps him figure out what he wants out of life.
Aaron Jackson, Addison Rae, Ben Rodgers, Carl Tart, Cary Elwes, Charles Melton, Debby Ryan, Eugene Cordero, Jim O’Heir, Joe Locke, Joe Wengert, John Milhiser, Lamar Woods, Lennon Parham, Maria Bamford, Mike Mitchell, Neil Casey, Nick Tiger Wiger, Nicole Byer, Pam Murphy, Patti LuPone, Quinta Brunson, Seth Kirschner, Stephanie Allynne, Stephen Malkmus, and Tig Notaro join the cast as guest stars.
The series stars Jason Schwartzman (Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch) as Kevin, a housecat who decides to try life without people, and Aubrey Plaza (The White Lotus, Emily the Criminal) as Dana, one half of the human couple he leaves behind. Additional series regulars include Whoopi Goldberg (The Lion King, Sister Act) as Cupcake, John Waters (Hairspray, Liar Mouth) as Armando, and Aparna Nancherla (The Great North, Bob’s Burgers) as Judy — Kevin’s new cat roommates at a local pet rescue run by Seth, played by Gil Ozeri (Big Mouth, Monsters), and his dog Brandi, played by Amy Sedaris (BoJack Horseman, At Home with Amy Sedaris).
Kevin is created and executive produced by Plaza and Joe Wengert, who also serves as showrunner. Dan Murphy, Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, Shannon Prynoski, and Antonio Canobbio also executive produce. The series is produced by Titmouse, Evil Hag Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios.
