Birds of a feather party together in Netflix’s new Tuca & Bertie trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A new trailer for Netflix's TUCA & BERTIE has left its nest and flown straight onto the internet! Hailing from ShadowMachine, the studio behind such animated hits as Netflix's BOJACK HORSEMAN, F IS FOR FAMILY, FINAL SPACE and more, TUCA & BERTIE stars Tiffany Haddish (NIGHT SCHOOL, GIRLS TRIP) and Ali Wong (BLACK BOX, FRESH OFF THE BOAT) as bird women BFFs. Created by BOJACK HORSEMAN supervising producer Lisa Hanawalt, TUCA & BERTIE revolves around the friendship of two 30-year-old bird women who live in the same apartment building. For the show, Haddish stars as Tuca, a crass, take no prisoners toucan, while Wong lends her vocals to Bertie, a worrisome, and some would say repressed songbird. Together, the pair are fly AF, and they're not afraid to ruffle a few feathers.

The new trailer shows the pair getting up to all manner of shenanigans, as they navigate a world populated by an anthropomorphic menagerie of animal citizens and agitators. Fur will fly, feathers will molt, and mid-life crisis will run rampant when Tuca and Bertie try their best to live life out loud while contending with younger birds, snide snakes in the grass, and dance floors that can no longer contain the awesome power of their sweet moves.

Joining Haddish and Wong for their hot takes as Tuca & Bertie are Steven Yeun (THE WALKING DEAD, OKJA), alongside guests Nicole Byer, Richard E. Grant, John Early, Reggie Watts, Tig Notaro, Amber Ruffin, Jermaine Fowler, Tessa Thompson, just to name a few.

Netflix will open the cage for TUCA & BERTIE beginning on Friday, May 3rd.
