Tiffany Haddish Will Star In A New Netflix Show From The ‘BoJack Horseman’ Creators

Thanks to her “best acceptance speech” ever at the New York Film Critics Circle in January, we already know that Tiffany Haddish will likely star in a Paul Thomas Anderson film. Until that fateful day happens, however, fans of the stand-up comedian and Girls Trip star will have to make due with her newly announced role in Tuca & Bernie, a new Netflix animated series from the creators of BoJack Horseman.

According to Variety, the new show “is a comedy about the friendship between two 30-year-old bird women who live in the same apartment building.” Haddish, who is also executive producing the new show, will lend her voice talents to Tuca, “a cocky, care-free toucan.” As for Bertie, who is described as “an anxious, daydreaming songbird,” she has yet to be cast. Tuca & Bertie was created by BoJack Horseman‘s production designer and producer Lisa Hanawalt, and will be executive produced by fellow BoJack creators Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Noel Bright, and Steven A. Cohen.

With a 10-episode order from Netflix to get things started, Tuca & Bertie will also receive a helpful hand from BoJack‘s animation studio, ShadowMachine. The team there is also responsible for shows like Robot Chicken, Moral Orel, and Final Space.
