Despite the Predator franchise currently being on hold following the disappointment of 2018’s The Predator, the series could very well still continue. The film had been positioned as a long-awaited relaunch for the series, but underperformed significantly upon its release last fall.

The new trailer for Netflix’s animated comedy Tuca & Bertie delivers a look at two thirty-something best friends, who happen to be anthropomorphic birds. If the animation and talking animals looks familiar, it’s because the series hails from the team that helped bring BoJack Horseman to life, namely, Lisa Hanawalt, who created Tuca & Bertie, and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of the aforementioned animated horseman.
