The team behind Netflix's animated adult comedy Bojack Horseman is set to produce a new series which will bring Tiffany Haddish on as an executive producer and lead voice actor. The show, Tuca & Bertie, will focus on two 30-something birds who strike a friendship while living at the same apartment building.
The art style might look familiar, as Tuca & Bertie's animation is being handled by Shadowmachine, the same studio that brought Bojack Horseman to life. Fellow Bojack supervising producer, Lisa Hanawalt is on board as the show's creator. Haddish will voice Tuca, a carefree toucan, while her neurotic neighbor Bertie, has yet to be officially cast.
