Netflix ‘s new bet is based on the irreverent card game Exploding Kittens , and will lead to the creation of an animated series for adults . Along with it, the Exploding Kittens mobile game will come to the service, which is actually based on an existing previous version.
Given the imminent Netflix price increase in 2022 (already applied in the United States and some other countries), Netflix must continue to expand its catalog of series and movies. Exploding Kittens is a cult card game on the Internet, which raised almost 9 million dollars through Kickstarter.
In Exploding Kittens the objective is to make one of the “exploding kittens” defeat our rival , in a board game full of black humor, with illustrations by the author of The Oatmeal.
Regarding the series, its argument revolves around the battle between Heaven and Hell, which takes an unexpected turn when God and the Devil end up on Earth as house cats . We do not have more details of the story, only that it will be an animated comedy aimed at an adult audience.
As for voice actors, we have famous voices including Tom Ellis, Abraham Lim, Lucy Liu, Ally Maki, Mark Proksch, and Sasheer Zamata. The showrunners of the series are Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman, with contributions from Elanb Lee and Inman of The Oatmeal, the original creators of Exploding Kittens.
We know that the series will arrive in 2023 on Netflix, so it still has a lot of production time left, and the streaming platform has not shown images yet.
Instead, it will be possible to download the game from May 2022 on Android and iOS, which will ask us for the Netflix username and password to enjoy it.
Actually, Exploding Kittens – The Game is not new, but based on the version that is already on sale on mobile. It will now be 100% free for Netflix subscribers , even optional micropayments will be removed.
Of course, the arrival of Exploding Kiittens on Netflix seems interesting , although it remains to be seen if the series manages to capture the acid humor and the peculiar drawing of the cards designed by the popular cartoonist from The Oatmeal.
