Mike Myers to Star in Netflix Comedy Series

Netflix has ordered a new half-hour limited comedy series that will both star and be executive produced by Mike Myers.

In the six-episode series, Myers will play multiple characters, as he famously did in the Austin Powers franchise. The Saturday Night Live alum will executive produce the series alongside John Lyons (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Austin Powers in Goldmember) and Jason Weinberg (The Gong Show).

Myers said: “I love creating characters, and Netflix has given me a fantastic playground to play in.”

Myers’ most recent projects include the Oscar-nominated Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and Terminal with Margot Robbie and Simon Pegg. His latest foray into television was hosting a season of The Gong Show.
