An official trailer has been released for Mulligan. A new adult animated series, Mulligan is coming to Netflix on May 12. The series is set in a world that has been ravaged by an extraterrestrial invasion that was eventually won by the humans, but not without some heavy losses. The survivors do their best to adjust to this new world as they try to rebuild after the catastrophic event. You can see what the series is like by watching the trailer below.
Mulligan is being promoted as coming from the minds behind 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It is co-created by Robert Carlock and Sam Means, who also serve as co-showrunners. The pair executive produce alongside Tina Fey, David Miner, Erin Gurian, Scott Greenberg, and Joal Kuwahara. Universal TV is producing in association with Little Stranger, Inc., Bevel Gears, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Bento Box Entertainment.
The official synopsis for Mulligan is as follows:
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.
Will Mulligan Go the Distance at Netflix?
Mulligan features an all-star cast as well. The cast of characters includes Nat Faxon as Matty Mulligan, an everyman from Boston who is essentially the new leader of humanity; Chrissy Teigen as Lucy Suwan, who becomes the First Lady due to having a brief romance with Matty; Tina Fey as Dr. Farrah Braun, a single mother who works as a military super-scientist; Sam Richardson as Simon Prioleau, the world’s only surviving historian; Dana Carvey as Senator Cartwright LaMarr, the scheming, self-appointed Vice President; and Phil LaMarr as Axatrax, the extraterrestrial who is the only surviving alien from the battle against humanity, now residing in a prison cell.
Other cast members include Kevin Michael Richardson as the military cyborg TOD-209; Ayo Edebiri as Jayson Moody, aka General Scarpaccio, a teenager who became a self-appointed general after donning a dead general’s uniform; Daniel Radcliffe as rich party boy King Jeremy; and Ronny Chieng as Johnny Zhao, a Hong Kong billionaire who waited out the invasion while partying on a private yacht.
A lot of the right ingredients are here for Mulligan to be a hit on Netflix, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. It’s just been announced that Big Mouth will conclude on the streaming platform with its upcoming eighth season, so that does show that animated programs can have a long shelf life at Netflix. With that said, the streamer is infamous for axing shows prematurely, and animated programs in particular seem to struggle with having a lasting stay on the platform. We’ll find out soon enough what will happen with Mulligan when the show premieres in the near future. Potential renewals will obviously depend upon the reception and its viewership.
Mulligan will start streaming on Netflix on May 12, 2023. The series consists of ten 30-minute episodes.
