## Synopsis

Ricky Gervais Alley Cats (2026-present) is a British adult animated sitcom created by Ricky Gervais for Netflix. Gervais voices Gus, a scruffy feral tomcat, alongside Tom Basden as the scheming Ponce, Andrew Brooke as Fang and David Earl as Puke, with Kerry Godliman as Lara and Diane Morgan as Olive rounding out the stray-cat crew. Each short fifteen-minute episode follows the gang as they scrounge for food, dodge rivals and stumble into outrageous misadventures across the back alleys and streets of their neighborhood. The engine is simple: the cats want an easy meal, a bit of status and freedom from trouble, and their own selfish schemes keep producing more of it. The six-episode run is built around standalone escapades that escalate into anarchic chaos. Its tone is crude, cynical and unapologetically irreverent, with dark humor that refuses to soften its characters. Fans of BoJack Horseman, Extras and Crashing will find a similar appetite for mean-spirited, adult-oriented comedy wrapped in a deceptively cute premise. The series is a short, sharp, very rude night out for grown-up viewers.
