Prime Video Announces Cast of Animated Series Kevin
Prime Video has announced the series regulars of the upcoming adult animated series Kevin, which is set to stream in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
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 a human couple who he leaves behind.
The 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 human Seth, played by Gil Ozeri (Big Mouth, Monsters) and his dog Brandi, played by Amy Sedaris (BoJack Horseman, At Home with Amy Sedaris).
Loosely inspired by a real-life break-up and the cat who was caught in the middle, Kevin is a hilarious and heart-warming story about finding where you belong in the world. After the unexpected break-up of his human “owners,” Kevin moves into a local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens, where a chaotic band of misfit animals will help him to figure out what he really wants out of life.
Kevin is created and executive produced by Plaza and Joe Wengert, the latter also serving as showrunner. Dan Murphy, Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, Shannon Prynoski, and Antonio Canobbio also serve as executive producers.
The series is produced by Titmouse (The Mighty Nein, The Sisters Grimm, The Legend of Vox Machina), Evil Hag Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios. You can learn more about the characters below:
Kevin (Jason Schwartzman): a loveable and neurotic tuxedo cat who impulsively trades in his sheltered life in a fourth-floor walk-up for the excitement and terror of being “single” in the big city.
Dana (Aubrey Plaza): a confident and career-driven young woman, Dana makes the grown-up decision to end things with her boyfriend… but is blindsided by Kevin’s choice to venture out and live on his own.
Judy (Aparna Nancherla): a sweet but sickly Scottish Fold kitten who welcomes Kevin into his local pet rescue with positivity and an unwavering belief that the perfect human is right around the corner.
Armando (John Waters): a gorgeous, sarcastic, and no-nonsense Persian cat who has sworn off all humans in favor of the freedom he gets out of life as an “independent” cat.
Cupcake (Whoopi Goldberg): a wildly unpredictable hairless cat, Cupcake is proudly feral– she’s only squatting at the pet rescue as long as it provides her with opportunities to con humans and animals alike.
Seth (Gil Ozeri): the kind and nurturing man who runs “Furrever Friends” pet rescue. He loves his animal residents so much that he lets them walk all over him… constantly.
Brandi (Amy Sedaris): Seth’s brassy and intimidating little Shih Tzu. Despite being a dog, it’s clear that Brandi is really in charge of the rescue.
