According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ali Wong is teaming up with Tiffany Haddish for upcoming animated comedy series Tuca and Bertie. Haddish had already been set to voice Tuca, and now Wong is stepping in to voice the other lead character, Bertie.

The upcoming animated series is centered around the friendship between two 30-year-old bird-women who live in the same apartment building: Tuca (Haddish), a cocky,care-free toucan, and Bertie (Wong), an anxious, day-dreaming songbird.

Netflix ordered a 10-episode, straight-to-series comedy in February. Lisa Hanawalt created the series and executive produces alongside Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Noel Bright, Steven A. Cohen, Haddish and Wong. The series comes from Michael Eisner's Tornante Co, with the animation being done by Shadowmachine.

Wong is noted for her Netflix stand-up special Baby Cobra, as well as her television appearances in American Housewife, Are You There, Chelsea?, Inside Amy Schumer, and Black Box. She also wrote for the first three seasons of the sitcom Fresh Off the Boat.
