Last month, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival was the perfect occasion for Netflix to release the official trailer and image gallery for Ricky Gervais' (The Office, After Life) new adult animated series, Alley Cats. With the six-episode series set to hit the streamer on August 7th, viewers will be introduced to the trials and tribulations of a group of feral British cats who seek companionship as they reflect on the struggles of everyday life. Joining Gervais on the animated series are Tom Basden, Andrew Brooke, David Earl, Kerry Godliman, Jo Hartley, and Diane Morgan – along with Natalie Cassidy and Tony Way. With only a week to go until its premiere, the streaming service has not only dropped a series poster but also a four-plus-minute extended preview that does a nice job setting the animated series' tone.
