Ricky Gervais’ full impact on TV comedy is hard to measure, but it says something that his later-in-life rise to fame 24 years ago co-creating The Office led directly to the heartfelt cringe of The Paper, which only premiered a week ago. Few projects have those kinds of legs, but there will certainly be plenty of legs on display in the Brit comedian’s newest Netflix creation, which is not at all what I was expecting.
Coming to streaming at some point after the 2025 Netflix schedule has concluded will be Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats, in which the award-winning creative will take on the role of a domesticated-yet-feral cat who will presumably have strong personal opinions about hot-button topics. Such as milk saucers and where to hole up when it rains.
