The Netflix series will also reunite Myers with John Lyons, who previously executive produced the latter two Austin Power films, and Jason Weinberg, who serves as an executive producer on The Gong Show, as both will serve as executive producers for the series.
Variety reports that Austin Powers star Mike Myers has signed with Netflix to star in and executive produce a new half-hour series for the streaming service in which he will act as multiple characters.
“I love creating characters, and Netflix has given me a fantastic playground to play in,” Myers said in a statement.
Myers is also well-known in the film world for his roles as both the titular hero and villain characters in the spy comedy trilogy Austin Powers and the beloved ogre Shrek from the DreamWorks franchise, as well as supporting roles in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 war drama Inglorious Basterds and last year’s Oscar-winning Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
