What’s Kevin about?

After the unexpected break-up of his human “owners,” Kevin breaks up with them and 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.

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 as DANA (The White Lotus, Emily the Criminal), one half of the human couple he leaves behind. 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).

Loki in the big city

First and foremost, I’m a cat lover. I adore dogs too, but cats have always been my preferred pets. My cat, Loki, would not know what to do with herself if my wife and I ever split up (we won’t), and the thought of her wandering around the streets of London, Ontario, to “find herself” sends shivers down my spine. Maybe I’m underestimating her, but I don’t think she’d last long. A hawk could scoop her up, or she could be eaten by one of the downtown locals. We’ll keep her here, the princess that she is. You can check out a photo of her below.
