Prime Video’s 'Kevin' Unleashes Star Power with Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, and Whoopi Goldberg

Move over prestige dramas and recycled reboots, Prime Video is diving headfirst into the chaotic world of animated comedy with Kevin, and the cast is stacked with some serious comedic royalty. Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, Whoopi Goldberg, and Amy Sedaris are leading the charge in this hilariously unhinged new adult series that promises to bring heart, humor, and a hefty dose of fur-covered existential crisis.

Created by Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wengert, Kevin tells the story of a neurotic tuxedo cat who ditches his cozy fourth-floor walk-up for the unpredictable world of post-breakup independence. Yes, you read that right. The cat leaves. Jason Schwartzman voices Kevin, a highly anxious but lovable feline who finds himself navigating single life at a pet rescue in Astoria Queens after his human owners call it quits. Think Fleabag meets The Secret Life of Pets, only with more emotional baggage and fewer emotional support humans.

Plaza voices Dana, the career-focused woman who ends the relationship and unintentionally sparks Kevin’s quarter-life cat crisis. The rescue is home to a bizarre lineup of animal personalities including Goldberg’s Cupcake, a feral hairless cat with zero shame and zero morals, Sedaris’s Brandi, a tiny Shih Tzu who clearly runs the show, and John Waters as Armando, a Persian cat who ditched humans for the freedom of the streets. Aparna Nancherla and Gil Ozeri round out the cast as a hopelessly romantic kitten and a too-kind rescue owner respectively.

Produced by Titmouse and Amazon MGM Studios, Kevin is shaping up to be Prime Video’s next animated gem. With a unique concept, a top-tier cast, and writing that leans into the absurdity of both pets and people, this series might just claw its way to the top of your watchlist.
