“Uniquely told through the lens of a housecat, this hilarious series hits on the extremely relatable theme of self-discovery and living your desired life,” said Melissa Wolfe, head of animation, Amazon MGM Studios. “Aubrey, Joe, and Dan are telling a fantastic story and this is a great addition to our growing animated slate for our global Prime Video customers.”
Parks and Recreation and The White Lotus actress Plaza and Wengert, who worked as a voice actor and executive producer for Big Mouth, are both alumni of the Upright Citizen Brigade. Plaza and creative partner Murphy co-wrote the Christmas Witch book series.
“I am extremely excited to be working with Amazon and my old friends Aubrey and Dan on this show,” Wengert said. “The real Kevin was with me during some of my lowest moments. This show is my chance to thank him– by creating a world where he can find less of a total bummer situation for himself.”
Kevin is produced by Titmouse, Evil Hag Productions and Amazon MGM Studios.
Networks and streamers have been ramping up their animation content for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market, which kicks off next week.
