Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation is a slapstick comedy animated series produced by Xilam Animation for the streaming service Netflix. It is a reboot of Xilam’s long-running animated series, Oggy and the Cockroaches.[1][2][3][4][5] Like the original series, it focuses on the wacky antics of Oggy and the trio of mischievous cockroaches that inhabit his house. Aside from the titular characters, the series also introduces the addition of the seven-year-old Piya – an optimistic elephant from India whom Oggy has to look after.
Unlike the original show and Oggy Oggy, both of which have episodes that last 22 minutes and contain three self-contained segments, Next Generation's episodes last for 43 minutes with six segments each (this is not the case in the Gulli version). The series drastically tones itself down compared to the original, with a focus on Oggy's friendship with Piya. However, like the original, the reboot still lacks any actual dialogue – characters frequently express themselves with a variety of noises. Archival recordings of Hugues Le Bars were used for the main characters (along with new audio), while Kaycie Chase voices Piya, the latter of whom also performed the opening.
