At the Meadows, Bruce and Skip auction MENTOR. Ken rallies the Liechtenstein Guard and they defeat the Red Robes. Bruce holds Reilly hostage, commanding Ken to use the parce clavem to take control of the Pentaverate.

Realizing the Pentaverate has been fallen into nefarious hands at their wrongdoings, Lordington, Mishu, and Shep enact the Demetrious Protocols. They vote, exposing cyanide pills and allowing them to commit suicide. In his dying breath, Lordington reveals that Ken's kind and empathetic soul is able to save MENTOR. As Lordington dies, Ken's soul fuses with MENTOR, sacrificing himself in the process. One year later, Patty, Reilly, and KENTOR are all part of the new Septaverate secret society, an organization with the same mission as the Pentaverate, but more diverse and representative of the world they serve.

Production

Development

On April 17, 2019, it was announced that Mike Myers would create and star in an untitled Netflix comedy. Myers also executive produces along with John Lyons and Jason Weinberg. [4] [5] In June 2021, the series' title was announced as The Pentaverate, based on the conspiracy theories from the 1993 film So I Married an Axe Murderer , which stars Myers as both poet Charlie McKenzie and his Scottish-born father, Stuart McKenzie, who explains the nature & membership of the group in that film. Tim Kirkby joined as director and executive producer, with Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns also joining as executive producers. [2] [1] In January 2020, Ed Dyson and Roger Drew came on board as co-writers and executive producers. This marked Myers' first starring live-action role since his critically panned romantic comedy The Love Guru from 2008. [6] In early March 2022, Myers opened up an Instagram account posting images relating to the namesake of the series, five days prior to the trailer debut. [7]

Myers has stated that the character Ken Scarborough was a tribute to Canadian local news reporter and print columnist Glenn Cochrane. Scarborough's character was inspired by Cochrane's accent, hairstyle, and polite manner. [8] In Myers' 2017 memoir Canada, he recalls while growing up in Scarborough, Ontario, hearing Cochrane reporting at a sportsmen's show similar to the one depicted in the opening episode. Cochrane reported for CFTO News for 25 years before he died in June 2012. [8]

For the inclusion of the Shrek character, Myers contacted Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation for permission. Katzenberg happily agreed to have Myers include Shrek in the mini-series due to the actor's relationship with the studio. [9]

Themes

One of the themes Myers wanted to explore was conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories and confusion about their degrees of truth recur throughout the show. For example, the Pentavarate's headquarters includes a lunar stage that seems to confirm the faked US Moon landing conspiracy theory. Myers stated at the "Netflix is a Joke" Comedy Festival:

"I really wanted to dedicate this show to local journalists, because right now in this global war between fascism and democracy, you know, the first casualty of war is truth. Getting rid of local news is just the beginning of a slippery slope of all unfalsifiable fact." [8] [10]

Casting

On June 8, 2021, in addition to Myers himself, Ken Jeong, Keegan-Michael Key, Debi Mazar, Richard McCabe, Jennifer Saunders, and Lydia West were cast. [2] [11] Mazar previously co-starred with Myers in So I Married an Axe Murderer as Tony Giradino's girlfriend, Susan. On March 16, 2022, Jeremy Irons was announced as the series narrator. [12] On April 28, both Rob Lowe and Maria Menounos were announced to be playing fictional versions of themselves. [13]

Filming

Filming began in late May 2021 and wrapped filming in late July 2021. [14] Interior scenes were filmed in the newly opened Troubadour Meridian Water Studios in Enfield, North London.

Some interior scenes for the location The Meadows were filmed at Freemasons Hall, London, which is the headquarters of The United Grand Lodge of England, which is the governing Masonic lodge for the majority of freemasons in England, Wales and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Music

The soundtrack for the series was composed and recorded by the British electronic duo Orbital. [15] A portion of their 1996 single "The Box" was used as the show's opening theme. The Smash Mouth cover of the song "I'm a Believer", originally by the Monkees, briefly appears in a scene featuring Shrek in reference to its role as part of the film. [3]

Release

All six episodes of the series were released on Netflix on May 5, 2022. [16]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 28% critic approval rating from all critics and a 56% rating from top critics, with an average rating of 4.9/10, based on 25 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "After a long absence from the screen, Mike Myers returns with an overstuffed farce wherein he plays eight different characters—but unfortunately, almost none of them are funny." On average, top critics reviewed the series slightly more favorably. Robert Levin of Newsday wrote, "The Pentavarate is simultaneously silly and pointless, and a welcome return to form from its star." [17] Metacritic gave the series a weighted average score of 44 out of 100 based on 12 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [18]
