Did you like him in Lucifer? Tom Ellis is a cat god at Netflix, and it looks completely crazy! Discover the first images of “Exploding Kittens”, the platform’s new animated series.
Be careful, beware of cats… explosives!
Have you never seen a feline masterfully manipulate the powers of Creation? Let loose with your hammer against the rats of an arcade machine? Make a superhero costume in no time with toilet paper rolls and baby diapers? Or jump with claws out towards the enemy, shouting “Yippee-ki-yay Motherf..” ?
This is the Exploding Kittens program, and you can see it in the video above.
“I may look like a cat, but I’m actually a God stuck in this body.”
After six seasons and 93 episodes in the costume of Lucifer, did you miss Tom Ellis? Failing to reprise his role as Prince of Hell in Sandman (we explain why here), the British actor is back on Netflix in the role of God.
But a God somewhat different from the image we might have of him. Because this is a… cat. And even an explosive cat.
This animated series reserved for an informed audience will feature “the eternal conflict between Heaven and Hell, which reaches epic proportions when God (Tom Ellis) and the Devil (Sasheer Zamata) are sent to Earth in the bodies of large domestic cats”. A whole program, to be discovered soon on Netflix.
In the meantime, to immerse yourself in the universe, the game is available at Asmodée France. With an unstoppable promise: “A card game for people who love kittens. And explosions. And laser beams. And sometimes goats too”.

What is Exploding Kittens?
Developed under the supervision – necessarily offbeat and irreverent – of Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head, Silicon Valley) and Greg Daniels (The Office US, Parks and Recreation), Exploding Kittens is an animated series inspired by a card game which had broken crowdfunding records on Kickstarter at the time of its creation in 2015 (more than 8 million dollars raised and nearly 220,000 contributors!).
The game is based on a simple principle which revisits the concept of Russian roulette: each player draws a card in turn, hoping not to receive an explosive kitten, synonymous with elimination.
