Plaza is also the co-creator of the series alongside Joe Wengert. The official logline states that the show is “inspired by a real life break-up and the cat who was caught in the middle. ‘Kevin’ is a hilarious and heart-warming story about finding where you belong in the world. After the unexpected break-up of his human ‘owners,’ Kevin (Schwartzman) moves into a local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens where a chaotic band of misfit animals will help him to figure out what he really wants out of life.”

Both Plaza and Wengert are also executive producers on “Kevin,” with Wengert also serving as showrunner. Dan Murphy, Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, Shannon Prynoski, and Antonio Canobbio serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Titmouse, Plaza and Murphy’s Evil Hag Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios.

Character Descriptions

–Kevin (Jason Schwartzman): a loveable and neurotic tuxedo cat who impulsively trades in his sheltered life in a fourth floor walk-up for the excitement and terror of being “single” in the big city.

–Dana (Aubrey Plaza): a confident and career-driven young woman, Dana makes the grown up decision to end things with her boyfriend… but is blindsided by Kevin’s choice to venture out and live on his own.

–Judy (Aparna Nancherla): a sweet but sickly Scottish Fold kitten who welcomes Kevin into his local pet rescue with positivity and an unwavering belief that the perfect human is right around the corner

–Armando (John Waters): a gorgeous, sarcastic and no-nonsense Persian cat who has sworn off all humans in favor of the freedom he gets out of life as an “independent” cat

–Cupcake (Whoopi Goldberg): a wildly unpredictable hairless cat, Cupcake is proudly feral– she’s only squatting at the pet rescue as long as it provides her with opportunities to con humans and animals alike

–Seth (Gil Ozeri): the kind and nurturing man who runs “Furrever Friends” pet rescue. He loves his animal residents so much that he lets them walk all over him… constantly

–Brandi (Amy Sedaris): Seth’s brassy and intimidating little Shih Tzu. Despite being a dog, it’s clear that Brandi is really in charge of the rescue
