If Exploding Kittens is still a part of your party game, then you can expect the news you were hoping to hear. The Exploding Kittens mobile game as well as an animated TV series is being introduced by the streaming service. The adult-oriented show will be executive-produced by card game creators and will star well-known personalities including Lucy Liu and Tom Ellis.

God and the Devil visit Earth in the form of cats, in a series about a holy war. The upgraded game is due in May with two new cards and promises of future games based on the show.

This will be the first time in its history that it will launch a game and a series from the same franchise. While the game certainly wasn't built from scratch, the company not-so-subtly hints that it might repeat this simultaneous development strategy going forward.
