Check out Mike Myers in the teaser for The Pentaverate

Created by Mike Myers and directed by Tim Kirkby, The Pentaverate hits Netflix on 5th May.

What if a secret society of five men has been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347?

As this new series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself. Remember, the Pentaverate must never be exposed!

Myers plays eight different characters in the show and is joined by Jennifer Saunders, Ken Jeong, Keegan-Michael Key, Debi Mazar, Richard McCabe, Lydia West and Jeremy Irons as the series’ narrator.

These are the characters that Mike Myers will be playing:

• Ken Scarborough: An old-school Canadian news journalist who sets out to expose the Pentaverate and win his job back
• Anthony Lansdowne: A New England conspiracy theorist, determined to expose the Pentaverate
• Rex Smith: A far-right radio host and highly prominent conspiracy theorist
• Lord Lordington: The Pentaverate’s oldest and highest-ranking member.
• Bruce Baldwin: Former media mogul
• Mishu Ivanov: Ex-Russian oligarch
• Shep Gordon: Former Rock-N-Roll manager
• Jason Eccleston: A tech genius who invented the Pentaverate’s super computer, MENTOR

If this sounds familiar, it was first mentioned in Mike Myers’ So I Married An Axe Murderer way back in 1993. Thanks to Travis Tidmore for reminding me of that.
