Netflix Orders Animated Series and Mobile Game Based on the EXPLODING KITTENS Card Game
Netflix has given an animated series order to Exploding Kittens, based on the popular card game. The streamer has also announced that they have a mobile game based on the property in the works as well. Tom Ellis (Lucifer), Abraham Lim (The Boys), Lucy Liu (Elementary), Ally Maki (Wrecked), Mark Proksch (What We Do in the Shadows) and Sasheer Zamata (Woke) are providing the voices for the animated series, which is set to launch next year.
“Exploding Kittens follows the eternal conflict between heaven and hell as it reaches epic proportions when both God and the devil are sent to Earth — in the bodies of chunky house cats.”
The series comes from Mike Judge and Greg Daniels’ animation company Bandera Entertainment, who will executive produce alongside showrunners Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman, Bandera’s Dustin Davis, Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping for the Chernin Entertainment Group and Elan Lee, who created the original card game alongside Inman.
The game is set to launch in May. It will see players draw cards aiming to avoid the Exploding Kitten. Future cards and game mechanics will be themed around the animated series so people can play with their favorite characters. The game will feature both single and multiplayer options.
It joins games including Stranger Things: 1984, Shooting Hoops and Card Blast on the service.
