Apple TV Plus’ Central Park, a new animated comedy from Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard boasts a stellar cast, crazy characters, and some really fun songs.
Gad co-created the series, which debuted on Apple TV+ on 29 May, with Bouchard and Nora Smith. For Central Park, Gad said that he wanted to assemble “The Avengers version of a musical theatre cast.” And so he reached out to his friends, and “every one of our first choices said yes, which is extraordinary.”
Central Park follows park groundskeeper Owen (Leslie Odom Jr.), his reporter wife Paige (Kathryn Hahn), and their two children Molly (Kristen Bell) and Cole (Tituss Burgess), along with scheming heiress Bitsy (Stanley Tucci) and her assistant Helen (Daveed Diggs). Each of them have their own internal motivations and struggles, but they’re all pulled together by Bitsy’s grand plan to buy New York’s legendary park and turn it into a mall.
The animated musical series Central Park has won over viewers with it’s Bob’s Burgers visual aesthetics, wholesome story, and catchy songs. The songwriting credits for the show includes female singer-songwriters like Sara Bareilles, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Cyndi Lauper, and Meghan Trainor.
