The first season of Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong’s adult animated comedy series Tuca & Bertie will stream on 3 May on Netflix. The streaming giant recently released a trailer of show created by Lisa Hanawalt and the makers behind Bojack Horseman . Besides brief glimpses from the show, the video also has plenty of behind-the-scenes sequences.
The show follows two best friends Tuca (voiced by Tiffany), a toucan and Bertie (Ali), who share an apartment. “In a lot of ways, it kind of does mirror us because Tiffany’s, like, out there and about and is fun and is not repressed. And I’m kind of a recluse and I’m a homebody. I’m, like, the boring person who’s at home with my husband and my kids,” says Ali. “This is about a friendship between 30-year-old old bird women. I want women in the real world to it, even though they aren’t bird people,” explains Hanawalt in the first look trailer. According to Entertainment Weekly , the show is one of the first animated comedy series by a female showrunner that is made for women. Besides, Tiffany and Ali, Steven Yeun will feature on the ten episode show as Bertie’s boyfriend. Nicole Byer, John Early, Reggie Watts, Richard E Grant, Notaro, Amber Ruffin, Jermaine Fowler, Tessa Thompson are also part of Tuca & Bertie’s voice cast.
