Mike Myers will play seven characters in a new Netflix comedy series about a secret society.

The Austin Powers star will lead The Pentaverate, a show about five men have been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347.

As the series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself.

Myers also created the show and will serve as executive producer.

He will appear alongside a star-studded cast that includes Crazy Rich Asians star Ken Jeong, comedian Keegan-Michael Key, Absolutely Fabulous's Jennifer Saunders and It's A Sin’s Lydia West.

Myers previously referenced The Pentaverate in 1993 dark comedy So I Married An Axe Murderer, in which he played both the lead character and his cantankerous father.

In that film Canadian-American Myers claimed the secret society’s members included the Queen, the Vatican, the Getty family and fried chicken expert Colonel Sanders.

Production is under way on The Pentaverate, which will consist of six half-hour long episodes.
