The streamer has already committed to two seasons of Sexy Beasts, each consisting of six episodes. Comedian Rob Delaney (Catastrophe) has been tapped as host.
The above trailer and first-look photos below reveal just some of the transformations. Among the dating pool are a devil, a dolphin, an owl, a beaver, a scarecrow, a panda and a mouse.
“Making Sexy Beasts for Netflix has been an incredibly exciting process,” creator and executive producer Simon Welton said in a statement to Variety. “With an international cast featuring some truly brilliant characters, a host of prosthetics which look extraordinary in 4K ,and with Rob Delaney narrating, the viewers are in for a real treat. I hope the show puts a smile on peoples’ faces as they play along to discover who’ll fall in love with who, and what our cast all really look like.”
