This Thursday, Mike Myers is back in style for his new series The Pentaverate in which he plays eight characters in addition to creating the series. Myers has been keeping a low profile for the past few years, so having a new flagship hitting Netflix in just a few days is very exciting for his fans.

All six episodes of the show’s first season will arrive on May 5. Besides Myers, the show features an all-star cast including Jeremy Irons, Debi Mazar, Ken Jeong, Richard McCabe, Jennifer Saunders and many more!
