What happens

Tuca & Bertie is an American adult animated sitcom created by cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt for Netflix. It began streaming on May 3, 2019. It stars Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, alongside Steven Yeun, with a supporting cast including John Early, Richard E. Grant, and Reggie Watts. The show's central characters are two anthropomorphic female birds: Tuca the toucan and Bertie the song thrush. Episodes mainly focus on the two's relationships with each other and with their peers. The first season received positive reviews, and was cited as one of the best shows of 2019 by several publications. The series was canceled by Netflix after one season in July 2019. In May 2020, Cartoon Network's nighttime Adult Swim programming block announced they had ordered a second season of the series, which premiered on June 13, 2021. In August 2021, the series was renewed for a third season which premiered on July 10, 2022. Tuca & Bertie has received critical acclaim for its portrayal of adulthood and friendship-driven themes, as well as its humor and art style. In November 2022, Hanawalt confirmed that Adult Swim canceled the series after two seasons on its programming block, and three seasons total. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
