Voice cast, plot and release date roundup for Ricky Gervais’s Alley Cats on Netflix
From the cast and plot to when Alley Cats drops, we’ve got the essentials you’re hunting for.
Meet a pack of streetwise strays with zero patience and even less filter: in Alley Cats, a group of feral cats are crammed into a single room after being left behind, barking out jokes and survival tips in equal measure. Their routine gets upended when a lost kitten wanders in, sending the gang on a foul-mouthed, unexpectedly tender quest to get her home — with stops along the way to poke at friendship, poverty, loss and the weird ways you build a family.
Ricky Gervais isn’t just voicing the lead cat, Gus — he created, wrote and directed the six-episode series. The show is an adult animated comedy for Netflix, with all episodes landing at once and each running under 20 minutes.
All six episodes arrived on Netflix August 7, 2026, with runtimes under 20 minutes.
Who’s voicing who
- Ricky Gervais — Gus

- Andrew Brooke — Fang

It’s a reunion of Gervais regulars — many of the cast have worked with him across After Life and Extras — now channeling their deadpan into alleyway banter, bickering and the occasional hairball.
Alley Cats streams exclusively on Netflix starting August 7, 2026, with all six episodes dropping the same day.
