Comedy icon Mike Myers posted a cryptic image to his newly created Instagram account teasing an announcement about his upcoming Netflix limited comedy series The Pentaverate. The series will follow a secret society of five men who have been influencing world events since the Black Plague, as well as the journalist that threatens to expose them. A creator, executive producer, and star of the series, Myers has created an Instagram to promote the project. The comedian has been dropping cryptic breadcrumbs surrounding the series, with his latest post hinting at the possibility of something more substantial in the very near future.
Myers took to Instagram yesterday to post a picture of a news helicopter hovering above a city skyline with the caption “5 Days. The 5th Hour.” Followers were left wondering what this cryptic message could mean, but SlashFilm is now reporting that Myers himself is going to be giving fans a first look at The Pentaverate on March 16 at 5:55 a.m. PT, presumably on his newly created Instagram. The preview will come five days after Myers' helicopter image, at 55 minutes past the fifth hour, just as Myers had captioned the photo. Check out Myers' Instagram post below:
In typical Myers fashion, the comedian will be taking on seven roles in the Netflix series. Besides Myers, Ken Jeong, Keegan-Michael Key, Richard McCabe, Debi Mazar, Jennifer Saunders, and Lydia West are also among the stacked cast. While there currently isn’t a known announced release date for The Pentaverate, it at least seems anxious viewers will get a sneak peek soon.
