Mike Myers’ new Netflix comedy series “The Pentaverate” has added six more to its cast alongside Myers himself who is set to play seven new characters.
Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians”), Keegan-Michael Key (“The Prom”), Debi Mazar (“Goodfellas”), Richard McCabe (“Eye in the Sky”), Jennifer Saunders (“Absolutely Fabulous”), and Lydia West (“Years and Years”) will all appear in the six-episode half-hour series which is currently in production.
The story is set in a world where five men have been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague in the 14th century. The story follows an unlikely Canadian journalist who finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and possibly save the world himself.
The title is referenced in Myers’ 1993 comedy ” So I Married an Axe Murderer” in which one of his characters claims The Pentaverate consists of “The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went t-ts up.”
Myers created the series and serves as an executive producer. Tim Kirkby is directing while Kirby, John Lyons, Tony Hernandez, Jason Weinberg and Lilly Burns executive produce.
