A handful of survivors get the rarest of second chances in Mulligan, an animated comedy that imagines what's left of humanity trying to rebuild civilization from the ground up after an alien invasion levels the planet.
What is Mulligan about?
Rather than dwelling on the invasion itself, the series picks up in its aftermath, following a small circle of survivors as they attempt to reorganize daily life, government, and relationships with none of the old rules left standing. Each episode leans on that premise for satire, using the blank-slate setup to poke at politics, workplace dynamics, and personal history the characters can no longer hide from. The half-hour format keeps individual episodes tight, closer to workplace-comedy rhythm than disaster epic, even with an apocalyptic backdrop.
About the cast
Nat Faxon and Chrissy Teigen head the voice cast, joined by Tina Fey, Sam Richardson, Dana Carvey, and Phil LaMarr in a lineup drawn heavily from network sitcom and sketch backgrounds, which shapes the show's dialogue-driven, joke-forward tone.
Context & significance
Robert Carlock, known for his work on network single-camera comedies, created and directs the series, and that pedigree shows in how Mulligan structures its world-ending premise around character comedy rather than science-fiction spectacle. It sits in the Animation, Comedy, and Sci-Fi categories at once, part of a run of adult animated shows built for streaming rather than broadcast, with a season out of the United States dated to 2023. The premise gives the writers room to reset relationships and social roles episode by episode, which is where much of the show's comedy comes from rather than from the alien threat itself.
