Mike Myers plays 8 characters in 6 episodes of The Pentaverate coming 5/5/2022 on Netflix.
In one more than five days from now, Mike Myers makes his triumphant comedic return in a new series created by, executive produced by, and starring himself, The Pentaverate. Myers will play eight different characters in the 6-episode series that will also star Ken Jeong, Keegan-Michael Key, Debi Mazar, Richard McCabe, Jennifer Saunders, and Lydia West. Guest appearances from Maria Menounos and Rob Lawe have also been teased. Get a glimpse of them and the hilarity that is set to ensue in the official trailer below.
The Pentaverate Official Trailer
The series looks to be extremely ridiculous, which is often a necessary approach when working with secret society subject matters. The highlight of it is Mike Myers playing multiple characters simultaneously like the good ol’ days of Austin Powers. Plus he has a strong cast to support him. The trailer doesn’t really go into how deep this secret society goes, but it does acknowledge other secret societies like The Illuminati, and that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are a part of it. It will be exciting to see what conspiracies are attributed to which society and the reasoning behind it all.

Keegan-Michael Key is Dr. Hobart Clark: A nuclear physicist, recruited into the Pentaverate to resolve the climate change disaster.
Debi Mazar will be playing Patty Davis: The highly trusted Executive Assistant to the Pentaverate — some would say the brains behind the whole operation.

Jennifer Saunders will appear as The Maester of Dubrovnik and Saester of Dubrovnik.
- The Maester of Dubrovnik: The head investigator for the Pentaverate, who is summoned from his ancestral home in Dubrovnik to investigate the suspicious deaths.
