49 Mulligan: Season 1

Animated comedy series debuts May 12 on Netflix

An animated comedy from some of the team behind 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt—including producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and writer Sam Means (with the latter two credited here as creators)—Mulligan is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which humanity is attempting to rebuild after aliens have destroyed much of Earth (and the human race). Fey will also be a regular in the voice cast alongside Nat Faxon, Sam Richardson, Dana Carvey, Chrissy Teigen, and Phil LaMarr, while recurring guests include Daniel Radcliffe, Ayo Edebiri, and Ronny Chieng.
