The Pentaverate marks the return of Mike Myers and his brilliant ability to play multiple characters all at once.
Legendary actor Mike Myers is back with a new series of his own creation, The Pentaverate. During the Black Plague, five brilliant men realized the cause but were labeled as heretics by the church. To protect the world, they formed a secret society to influence world events and ensure the future of humanity. This secret society-influenced comedy will feature Mike Myers doing what he does best, playing a bunch of different characters. This time he will play 8 of them. Get a glimpse in the teaser trailer.
The Pentaverate Official Teaser
Joining Myers is a stellar cast that include, Ken Jeon, Keegan-Michael Key, Debia MAzar, Richard, McCabe, Jennifer Saunders (who will also play multiple characters), Jason Eccleston, and Lydia West. Secret societies always allow for some crazy but also kind of relevant takes on world events, and I expect a lot of the world’s crazy to be acknowledged in the series. I can’t wait to see their take on why the world has suddenly turned everything into cake. However, the obvious draw of the series is the characters, and Netflix has graciously provided some character descriptions and images for us to get to know the a bit better.
