Following the first-look teaser dropped earlier this month, Netflix has revealed more of post-invasion Earth as imagined in the new adult animated comedy Mulligan. The full-length trailer, official key art and new stills were debuted this morning for the show, created by executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). The series will premiere May 12.
The spot offers a taste of some of the fresh disasters awaiting the thousand-something humans left alive in the wake of an alien attack (which, if a brief cameo is to be believed, includes Weird Al and Questlove), led by a bumbling everyman and his ad hoc team of advisors.
A new hero, for a new world…
Synopsis: After Earth is destroyed by an alien attack, a rag-tag band of survivors has to start society over from scratch. It’s an opportunity to learn from humanity’s past mistakes and get things right this time. Or make the same mistakes all over again. Probably the second one.
As previously announced, series regulars include Nat Faxon as Earthling hero turned maligned president, Matty Mulligan; Chrissy Teigan as de facto First Lady Lucy Swann; Tina Fey as military super scientist Dr. Farrah Braun; Sam Richardson as Simon Prioleau, Earth’s only surviving historian; Dana Carvey as self-appointed VP and retrograde political schemer Cartwright LaMarr; and Phil LaMarr as the sole alien fleet survivor, Axatrax.
In addition to co-creators Carlock and Means, executive producers also include Tina Fey, David Miner, Eric Gurian, Scott Greenberg and Joel Kuwahara. Mulligan is produced by Universal Television (a division of NBCUniversal Content Studios) in association with Little Stranger, Inc., Bevel Gears, 3 Arts Entertainment and Fox-owned animation studio Bento Box Entertainment.
