The time for the second season of the wild and phenomenal Tuca & Bertie is nigh. For awhile, we were all left wondering what the fate of the show would be as Netflix had relinquished any chance for a second season on their platform.

Thankfully, Lisa Hanawalt and company along with, of course, Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish, as Bertie and Tuca, all got their shot at a cooler network, Adult Swim. Once more, the wait for brand new Tuca & Bertie isn’t much longer as Jun. 13th has been set as the season 2 premiere date.

After some animatics, sneak peeks, etc. over the last several months, here’s a full gander at what’s in store for Tuca & Bertie or, rather, what they have in store for their lush animated world with the official season 2 trailer.

For a little while, we were left grieving the news that Tuca & Bertie wouldn’t be picked up for another season at Netflix. Then, Adult Swim gave Lisa Hanawalt and her beautiful, hysterical, otherworldly creation Tuca & Bertie another season, which we absolutely couldn’t wait for. There was an animatic released last year that gave us a bit of hope and excitement for what’s to come for the oddest bird couple.

Now, here‘s a full sneak peek, fully animated and just as charming and wild as you’ve come to expect, of season 2 of Tuca & Bertie.

There’s no specific premiere date (and what use are those anyway as everything changes all the time?), but it looks as though we can expect new episodes to start rolling out this Summer.

Since it looks more and more likely that the world will survive into 2021, there are things we can and will look forward to. A vaccine is at the top of most people’s lists, but a new season of Tuca & Bertie is up there.

Fresh from this past weekend, Tuca & Bertie creator Lisa Hanawalt graciously gave a peek of a sneak peek with an animatic clip from season 2. Tuca & Bertie are together again at a strip club and, as is one of the magical things about this show, it’s a team of plant strippers are on stage.

If you’re having a bit of trouble dreaming up that up, just enjoy the sneak sneak peek here.

Considering Lisa Hanawalt was instrumental to the creation of BoJack Horseman, it had us curious what her own show Tuca & Bertie about two Odd Couple-ish bird ladies would sound/feel/look like and if it would, be at all, similar to BoJack.

Well, this full trailer shows a world that’s, if you can imagine, a little more “out there”, brimming with more vibrant colors, and, in total, a rollicking universe that’s all it’s own with the voices of Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish leading the way.

See for yourself here, then look for episodes of Tuca & Bertie to start streaming on Netflix on Fri. May 3rd.

One of the shows we were most excited for coming into 2019 is Tuca & Bertie, a sort of Odd-Couple-esque animated series starring two middle-aged birdwomen voiced by Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong.

Well, the series premiere is just around the corner (all episodes start streaming on Friday, May 3rd on Netflix) and we we’re finally getting a first look into the show in this featurette that shows creator Lisa Hanawalt (who is getting upgraded from her gig at BoJack Horseman) and stars Haddish and Wong in the recording booth as well as them in their bird women form.

Somehow, we’re even more excited about Tuca & Bertie now.

This week, the wonderful multi-hyphenate Lisa Hanawalt (Tuca and Bertie, BoJack Horseman, Baby Geniuses) came out with her first graphic novel, Coyote Doggirl.

In a somewhat Western tradition, it follows a horse and the titular coyote doggirl getting separated. Hanawalt’s delightful penchant for anthropomorphizing animals, exuberant color palate, and cheeky dialogue give a fresh take on the genre.

If you listen to Hanawalt’s voice on her podcast Baby Geniuses, try imagining her reading the whole book as another fun layer to this book.

With all of that said, go get a hardcover copy from Drawn & Quarterly here.
