Oggy and the Cockroaches Oggy Oggy

Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation (French:Oggy et les Cafards : Nouvelle Génération) is aFrench animated series produced byXilam for the streaming serviceNetflix. It is areboot ofthe show of the same name.^{[3][4][5][6][7]} Like the original series, it focuses on the wacky antics of Oggy and a trio of mischievouscockroaches that inhabit his house. Aside from the titular characters, the series also introduces the seven-year-old Piya, an optimistic elephant fromIndia whom Oggy has to look after.

Unlike the original show andOggy 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 theGulli version). The series drastically tones itself down compared to the original, with a focus on Oggy's friendship with Piya, and is visualized with a more geometric style.

Oggy is ananthropomorphiccat living in the modern suburbs of Animville. He would like to live an average, everyday life, but he shares his home with roaches Joey, Dee Dee and Marky – three trouble-making, mischievous tricksters who usually desire to cause him trouble and drive him insane in a variety of ways. Oggy also has Indian friends who are on vacation, dropping off their daughter, optimistic seven-year-oldelephant Piya, for him to look after.

Now with a new roommate, Oggy will also have to deal with the obligation of being her new caretaker – and by extension, proper father figure. Piya also obliviously ends up seeing the cockroaches as Oggy's welcomed visitors, making the rascally trio see her as their big meal ticket to up the ante with their pranks on Oggy. This forces Oggy to multitask his way through pranks and parenting as the cockroaches use Piya's fun-loving, caring nature to their advantage.

The characters from the original series receive changes for the reboot. Jack, Bob and Olivia's roles are reduced, Oggy and Olivia's relationship remains as boyfriend and girlfriend (as they were husband and wife in the original series' season 4 finale), Bob now lives with Kevin, a new character, and some characters have received personality changes – some of them having redesigns; many being simplified.

• Oggy is a light blue cat with detachable black ears, green eyes and a red nose. Unlike the original series, he does not wear gloves. He is Piya's caring father figure, who is laid-back and cautious of the cockroaches – he is especially protective over Piya and any of his personal belongings. Although he is usually calm and collected, he can get a little goofy. Oggy keeps a collection of various yarn-based items and goes fishing as a regular hobby. He is the main arch-nemesis of the cockroaches, who he is easily annoyed by. He is also the current caretaker of Piya, seen as her uncle – he even met her when she was still a baby.
• The Cockroaches are the eponymous trio who live with Oggy and frequently annoy him. They are not as absurd and extreme with their pranks, but are still as mischievous as ever. Instead of usually being inside dirty-looking vents, they freely roam around Oggy's house. They follow Oggy wherever he goes, usually to steal some food. In the series, they are Piya's playmates and don't let Piya know of the things they do. In spite of their antics, the cockroaches can be nicer at times, as seen in several episodes.
  • Joey is the leader. He has aleft pink and right yellow eye, a light purple head and a pink body. While he is the smartest, he can get too eager, especially when it comes to the cockroaches' pranks. He is not as hot-headed as the original incarnation.
  • Marky has long, thin, curly antennae, pink eyes, a light green head and a grey body. He still has a generic role like in the original series, and mainly assists Joey and Dee Dee. He can get oddly attached to specific objects, like Piya's doll in "The Lost Doll" (to the point where he annoys Joey and Dee Dee) and a light in "Creature Comforts".
  • Dee Dee has light green eyes, a large orange head, and a fat blue body (much pudgier than his original design). He mostly assists Joey and Marky throughout the series and also is usually the most gluttonous of the cockroaches, to the point where he will eat things that are unpalatable, or otherwise inedible.
• Piya (voiced by Kaycie Chase) is an optimistic and cheerfulIndian elephant. Peach-pink and fat in build, she wears a pink and yellow shirt, with dark brown hair tied into a braided ponytail. She acts like a typical child – often having a playful yet gullible demeanor and unintentionally adding onto Oggy's daily struggles. She is also a protective neat freak witha fear of spiders. A variety of gags revolve around hertrunk, whether it's using as an extra hand or to blow strong winds. She is Oggy's "niece" and sometimes the cockroaches' playmate, mostly unaware of what they do and usually seeing them as innocent – until they either go too far or get her in trouble with Oggy, usually causing her to turn against them.

• Jack is a green cat with a red nose, a grey muzzle, and a salmon-coloured tummy (instead of a pink-coloured tummy from his original design). He is Oggy's cousin and Piya's "cousin once removed", being the tougher one compared to Oggy.
• Olivia is a white cat, one of Oggy's neighbours and his girlfriend. She is redesigned to look more lanky (no longer resembling Oggy) but also lacks her yellow bow (possibly a result of the designs being simplified). She doesn't like nature, unlike her previous counterpart.
• Bob is a large brownbulldog with a red, spiked collar, one of Oggy's neighbours and Kevin's uncle. He is brutish and is not very fond of Oggy. He also cares a lot for Kevin, to the point where in "Dog Day Afternoon", he constantly sobs hysterically after his nephew leaves for school.
• Kevin is a small, orange puppy with a blue nose, and Bob's nephew. Kevin sometimes will make fun of Oggy, but other times, he won't – like when he agrees to challenge himself in obtaining a fishing-related badge in "Scout's Honor".
• Piya's parents are Indian elephants and one a greyish-blue and one greyish-purple, respectively – are very large to the point where their faces aren't properly visible. They are friends of Oggy, though they aren't seen often. Ever since they dropped off Piya at Oggy's house, they went on vacation for a long time. They are easily entertained by Oggy (as his distractions) when they came to check on their daughter, in "Please Hold!" – he also assumed they were overprotective over their daughter.
• Agrizzly bear lives in a forest far away from the city. It lives carefree unless provoked, as it can become comically aggressive. As such, it once interfered with Oggy and Piya's camping grounds.

In the title cards, the English titles do not have any extra capitalization.

Like the first series, this series also lacks any actual dialogue – characters frequently express themselves with a variety of noises. Voices were provided byHugues Le Bars, within re-used audio clips for the eponymous characters, and Kaycie Chase as Piya, the latter of whom also performed the opening theme. Due to Le Bars' passing, some new audio for Oggy and the cockroach trio was recorded – the voice actor currently remains unknown. Vincent Artaud – who also became the new composer forZig & Sharko, among other Xilam titles – also returns for this new incarnation.

The series was first distributed online onGulli's French streaming services and its official app on November 8, 2021.^[8][9][2] However, it was labelled asOggy and the Cockroaches' eighth season. The series premiered worldwide onNetflix, on July 28, 2022. The series had its linear broadcast onSony YAY! in India,^[10]K2 in Italy, andTrans7 in Indonesia.
