Blink Industries Brings Unique Style to Ricky Gervais' Adult Animated Series Alley Cats
Ricky Gervais is bringing his brand of dark comedy to animation with Alley Cats, an adult series premiering August 7 on Netflix. The show dropped its first trailer just as Gervais prepares to appear at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
This isn't your average cartoon. Alley Cats follows a group of feral British cats navigating life's struggles, all animated by the talented Blink Industries. The UK studio gained acclaim for its distinct visual style in shows like Dead End: Paranormal Park and the cult hit Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Fans expecting typical cartoon antics should think again; this is adult animation with a pedigree. Gervais himself created, wrote, and directed the six-episode series, promising a sharp, observational take on feline (and human) nature.
