Mike Myers to Play Seven Characters in New Netflix Series, “The Pentaverate”

Mike Myers is heading to Netflix for a new TV Show, called The Pentaverate.

It will be a six-episode, half hour comedy where Myers will play Seven “brand new characters” alongside a cast that includes Ken Jeong, Keegan Michael-Key, Debi Mazar (Goodfellas), and more.

The show is about a secret society of five men who have been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347.

One unlikely Canadian journalist will try to uncover the truth and save the world.

If you are a deep cuts Mike Myers fan you might recall that he referenced the Pentaverate in his 1993 film, “So I Married an Axe Murderer”. So this has clearly been on his mind for a long time.

You can read more about this new project below.
