Netflix has announced it will create both an Exploding Kittens video game and TV series, marking the first time it's releasing a game and a show based on the same franchise. Netflix has been ramping up its efforts in the video game space, and this is just the latest and biggest step in that campaign.
Exploding Kittens - The Game, a new version of the existing mobile game, will launch directly through Netflix in May. After that, Netflix will release an "adult animated comedy series" based on the game in 2023. It will feature Tom Ellis (Rush, Lucifer), Abraham Lim (Clickbait,The Boys), Lucy Liu (Shazam, Elementary), Ally Maki (Wrecked, Toy Story 4), Mark Proksch (What We Do In The Shadows, Better Call Saul), and Sasheer Zamata (Woke, Home Economics).
In the show, God and the Devil come to Earth in the form of "chunky house cats," reigniting the "eternal conflict between Heaven and Hell," according to Netflix's announcement.
