James Corden leads a brilliant cast in the new comedy-drama Amazon Prime Video series Mammals.
The six-part series streams from Friday November 11 2022.
It’s a black comedy-drama about a chef whose wife has been keeping more secrets from him than you can shake a stick at.
Just when you think you’ve worked it out… You really haven’t!
The series comes after the real-life beef between Corden and a New York restaurant manager.
So, who is in the cast of Mammals, and which famous face pops up quite unexpectedly?
Here’s everything you need to know…
Who is in the cast of Mammals? James Corden plays Jamie
James Corden stars as a Jamie in the cast of Mammals on Amazon Prime Video.
Jamie is a confident, up-and-coming chef. At first.
He’s about to open his first solo restaurant and dreams of winning a Michelin star.
Life with his French wife Amandine seems perfect, until he accidentally uncovers her terrible secret – and it’s only the beginning of a web of lies and deceit.
James, 44, admits that after so many years presenting The Late Late Show in the US, he hoped he could still act.
“You wonder if you ever had it!” he says. “Like all of us really, I feel constantly unsure.
“Everything’s a challenge, but you want the challenge of it.”
How did James Corden become famous?
James started out with small roles in Hollyoaks and Little Britain. But his first big break came in 2000 as Jamie in Fat Friends.
“Mammals is the second Jamie I’ve played,” says James. “The first was in Fat Friends. They are probably the two characters that are closest to myself.”
He went on to write and star in the award-winning comedy series Gavin & Stacey, alongside Ruth “what’s occurrin’?” Jones.
James co-hosted the BRIT awards several times and hosted Sky’s panel show A League of Their Own alongside Jamie Redknapp.
He also appeared in episodes of Doctor Who.
But, in 2015, he got his biggest break of all when he took over as host of The Late Late Show in the US.
American audiences adored the star, who had proved “Marmite” in the UK.
He went on to host the Tony and Grammy awards – both huge events in the US.
James introduced his Carpool Karaoke to The Late Late Show, which he first performed on Comic Relief.
His videos of driving round in his car chatting to A-list stars – including the then President’s wife, Michelle Obama – went viral.
