Ricky Gervais Alley Cats(2026)

Alley Cats is a short-form adult animation built around deadpan observation rather than plot momentum. The comedy stays deliberately low-key: feral British cats from different social backgrounds talk through the small frustrations and quiet indignities of everyday life, and the jokes land through understatement and timing rather than anything broad or physical.

The ensemble spreads across distinct personalities whose class differences surface in how they speak and what they worry about. Companionship is always slightly out of reach, not dramatically, but in the way it tends to be in real life, which gives the whole thing a quietly melancholic undertow beneath the dry wit.
