The birds are back in town! Here's the trailer for season three of Tuca & Bertie
The animated series starring Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong returns to Adult Swim and HBO Max next month
Tuca & Bertie is set to return for its third season next month, making the most of its new life on Adult Swim after getting canceled by Netflix one season in. Starring Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, the animated series follows the titular best friends as they navigate life at different paces.
The show was created by Lisa Hanawalt, previously known for giving BoJack Horseman its distinct look. Using her signature style, Tuca, Bertie, and Bertie’s boyfriend Speckle (Steven Yeun) are birds with humanoid bodies, though the overall look of the show is brighter and more psychedelic.
Like BoJack, Tuca & Bertie blends drama and humor, tackling subjects like addiction and sexual assault while also making good use of its stars’ reputations for comedy. In the trailer for the new season, the duo seem to be confronting mortality, with Tuca landing in the hospital and Bertie getting eaten by a snake.
“I can’t wait for everyone to catch up on all the latest calamity and soul-searching from these birds,” Hanawalt says in a statement. “Season three is packed with romance, chronic pain, ambition, large ducks, lustful trees, and hungry snakes!”
