Created by Dan Guterman, the existential animated adult comedy follows Carol, a quiet and uncomfortable woman who stands alone, lost among the hedonistic masses; streaming globally in December.
Netflix shared first-look images and cast announcements for its new adult animated limited series Carol & The End of The World, premiering globally on December 15. Created by Dan Guterman (The Colbert Report, Community, Rick and Morty), the show examines “the comforts of monotony.”
With a mysterious planet hurtling towards Earth, extinction is imminent for the people of the world. While most feel liberated to pursue their wildest dreams, one quiet and always uncomfortable woman stands alone, lost among the hedonistic masses.
The cast includes Martha Kelly (Euphoria, Baskets) as the titular character Carol, alongside Beth Grant (No Country For Old Men, The Mindy Project), Lawrence Pressman (Reboot, Magnum PI, Modern Family), Kimberly Hébert Gregory (Craig of the Greek, Vice Principals), Mel Rodriguez (Onward, Last Man On Earth, Getting On), Bridget Everett (Somebody Somewhere, Patti Cake$), Michael Chernus (Severance, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Dead Ringers), and Delbert Hunt (Monster High, Super Giant Robot Brothers, Justice League: Cosmic Chaos).
“Carol & The End of The World is a love letter to routine,” shared Guterman. “A show about the comforts of monotony. An animated and existential comedy about the daily rituals that make up the gaps that make up a life.”
Guterman and Donick Cary (The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation, Silicon Valley) are executive producers, with Kevin Arrieta (Wilfred, The Last O.G.) as co-executive producer. Bardel Entertainment produces the animation.
