Featuring the voices of Lisa Kudrow, Will Forte, Clea DuVall, Nat Faxon, Sharon Horgan, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson and Jason Mantzoukas, animated comedy HOUSEBROKEN follows a group of neighborhood animals as they work through their issues, inside and outside their therapy group.
HONEY (Emmy Award winner Lisa Kudrow, “Friends”, “The Comeback”), a poodle mix, is the self-appointed leader of the group who often gets caught up in her own drama and is not always as helpful as she thinks she is. She struggles with her own problems, such as her relationship with her partner CHIEF (Academy Award winner Nat Faxon, “The Descendants,” “The Way Way Back”), a goofy St. Bernard who is less interested in personal growth and more interested in licking himself.
The group includes SHEL (Emmy Award nominee Will Forte, “The Last Man on Earth,” “Nebraska”), a sex-positive tortoise with a knack for choosing unconventional partners; TABITHA (Emmy Award nominee Sharon Horgan, “Catastrophe”), an aging Persian cat beauty queen, trying to adjust to life off the cat show circuit; THE GRAY ONE (Jason Mantzoukas, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The Good Place”), a street smart cat who lives with about 30 other cats and just wants to be loved; CHICO (Screen Actors Guild Award winner Sam Richardson, “Veep”), a chonky cat who has a very one-sided relationship with his human; MAX (Emmy Award winner Tony Hale, “Veep,” “Arrested Development”), a Hollywood pig who may or may not have lived with George Clooney; ELSA (Screen Actors Guild Award winner Clea DuVall, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Veep”), a Corgi with a lot of opinions; and DIABLO (Hale), an anxious, sweater-wearing terrier.
Among the group’s other members are NIBBLES (guest voice Bresha Webb, “The Last O.G.”), a psychopathic hamster; BUBBLES (guest voice Greta Lee, “Russian Doll”), a horny goldfish who lives with Honey and Chief, and heckles the animals any chance she gets; and TCHOTCHKE, a silent, and possibly magical, slow loris with a mysterious past, who uses a tiny cocktail umbrella to express his emotions. And then there’s Jill (MARIA BAMFORD), the human who has no idea any of this is going on under her roof.
HOUSEBROKEN is an irreverent look at human behavior told through the filter of a quirky group of neighborhood animals. Throughout the series, the show centers on the pets’ dysfunctional relationships and their skewed world view, while exploring relevant societal issues in fun and unique ways.
