2026
1 Season

Kevin is an adult animated comedy series that premiered on April 20, 2026 on Amazon Prime Video. Developed by Aubrey Plaza?through her production banner Evil Hag Productions?and co-creator Joe Wengert, the show blends raunchy humor, emotional introspection, and animal?centric storytelling. It follows the titular character Kevin, voiced by Jason Schwartzman, as he navigates life after the dissolution of his human family.

The series is deeply personal for Plaza, inspired by her real past relationship with Wengert and the cats they shared, including the real Kevin. Plaza has described the project as "the most personal" of her career, with many emotional beats drawn from their shared history.

Premise and Setting
After his human owners Dan and Dana separate, Kevin decides to "break up" with them too. He leaves their home and moves into Furrever Friends, a pet rescue in Astoria, Queens, where he meets a chaotic ensemble of misfit animals. These include:

Cupcake, a feral, free?spirited hairless cat voiced by Whoopi Goldberg

Armando, a dramatic Persian cat voiced by John Waters

Judy, a sweet but sickly Scottish Fold kitten voiced by Aparna Nancherla

Brandi, a gruff Shih Tzu voiced by Amy Sedaris

Seth, the human who runs the rescue, voiced by Gil Ozeri

Together, they form a dysfunctional but heartfelt community that helps Kevin figure out who he is and what he wants out of life.

Tone and Themes
The show blends raunchy adult humor, absurdist scenarios, and emotional sincerity. Critics note that while the humor can be hit?or?miss, the series shines when leaning into its animal?centric comedy and heartfelt character arcs. Kevin's journey is ultimately about identity, independence, and belonging, framed through the lens of a cat trying to rebuild his life after heartbreak.

Plaza and Wengert's real breakup and shared cats heavily influenced the emotional core of the show. The development process even felt "like an acid trip" to Plaza, who described pitching the series with her ex as surreal and cathartic.

Production and Release
Produced by Titmouse, Evil Hag Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios, the series features an original opening theme, "I'm Coming Home," performed by Schwartzman. All eight episodes of Season 1 were released simultaneously on Prime Video.

Reception
Kevin received mixed?to?positive reviews, praised for its character work and emotional depth but critiqued for inconsistent humor. It currently holds a 63% Rotten Tomatoes score, lower than some of Plaza's previous projects but still appreciated for its unique voice and heartfelt storytelling.

Kevin is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between April 23, 2026 and on
