Netflix announced today that a new adult animated limited series, Carol & the End of the World, from creator Dan Guterman (The Colbert Report, Community, Rick and Morty). Animated by Bardel Entertainment, the 10 x 30-minute series will premiere December 15.
With a mysterious planet hurtling towards Earth, extinction is imminent for the people of the world. While most feel liberated to pursue their wildest dreams, one quiet and always uncomfortable woman stands alone — lost among the hedonistic masses.
“Carol & the End of the World is a love letter to routine,” says Guterman. “A show about the comforts of monotony. An animated and existential comedy about the daily rituals that make up the gaps that make up a life.”
Martha Kelly (Euphoria, Baskets) will star as the titular character, Carol, alongside Beth Grant (No Country For Old Men, The Mindy Project), Lawrence Pressman (ReBoot, Magnum PI, Modern Family), Kimberly Hébert Gregory (Craig of the Greek, Vice Principals), Mel Rodriguez (Onward, Last Man On Earth, Getting On), Bridget Everett (Somebody Somewhere, Patti Cake$), Michael Chernus (Severance, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Dead Ringers) and Delbert Hunt (Monster High, Super Giant Robot Brothers, Justice League: Cosmic Chaos).
Guterman executive produces with Donick Cary (The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation, Silicon Valley), Kevin Arrieta (Wilfred, The Last O.G.) is co-executive producer.
