Aubrey Plaza’s upcoming Prime Video series, Kevin, is set to premiere on April 20, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video. The show features a housecat named Kevin who decides he no longer wants to live with humans, sparking a comedic journey as he searches for a new home and attempts to make friends. The trailer, released recently, depicts Kevin’s adventures after his owners break up, highlighting his struggles to adapt to life on his own.
Along with the trailer, Amazon announced an impressive cast. Jason Schwartzman stars as Kevin, while Plaza plays Dana, one half of the couple whose breakup triggers Kevin’s quest. The series also boasts a star-studded lineup of regular cast members, including Whoopi Goldberg as Cupcake, John Waters as Armando, Aparna Nancherla as Judy, Gil Ozeri as Seth, and Amy Sedaris as Brandi.
