The latest trailer for Tuca & Bertie has landed, and honestly we are so ready. Created by Lisa Hanawalt (the artist and production designer behind BoJack Horseman), the animated comedy follows “comedy about the friendship between two 30-year-old bird women who live in the same apartment building: Tuca (Tiffany Haddish), a cocky, care-free toucan and Bertie (Ali Wong), an anxious, daydreaming songbird.”

If the loss of Broad City has you craving a new show centered on female friendship, then Tuca & Bertie seems ready to take on the mantle with its absurdist, trippy comedy that also delves into real-world issues. Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead) co-stars as Bertie’s boyfriend Speckle, and the voice cast includes Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Nicole Byer, Tig Notaro, and more.

With the creative team from BoJack Horseman at the helm, and the all-star comedic talents of Haddish and Wong, we can’t wait to dive into the wacky world of Tuca & Bertie.

The series lands on Netflix on May 3rd.
