Cat at the center of break-up

Loosely inspired by a real-life separation, Kevin tells the heart-warming yet hilarious story of a pet adjusting to big changes. After the sudden break-up of his human owners, Kevin the cat leaves his familiar New York walk-up apartment and ends up at a quirky rescue center in Astoria, Queens. There, he encounters a community of eccentric animals who guide him through his journey of self-discovery.

Meet the cast and characters

According to Variety, the show will revolve around the following characters:

Kevin (Jason Schwartzman) - An endearing and neurotic tuxedo kitty who abandons comfort to embrace the chaos of life alone.

Dana (Aubrey Plaza) - A confident, ambitious woman who ends her relationship with her boyfriend, but never expected Kevin to choose freedom.

Judy (Aparna Nancherla) - A sweet - even if sickly - little Scottish Fold kitten with a ton of optimism who believes the perfect human is just down the road.

Armando (John Waters) - A fabulous and edgy Persian kitty who rejects humans to live, beautiful and free.

Cupcake (Whoopi Goldberg) - A wildly erratic and charming feral hairless cat who loves scamming both animals and humans.

Seth (Gil Ozeri) - The nice but easily manipulated guy who heads the “Furrever Friends" animal rescue.

Brandi (Amy Sedaris) - Seth's brassy Shih Tzu who really runs the animal rescue.

Behind the scenes

Kevin was co-created by Plaza with writer-producer Joe Wengert, who is also the showrunner. The executive producers on the production team are Dan Murphy, Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, Shannon Prynoski, and Antonio Canobbio, per the outlet.
