Aubrey Plaza: new Amazon series, Off-Broadway turn, and TV moments

TL;DR:

• Plaza joins the voice cast of Prime Video’s animated series “Kevin.”
  
• She stars in Ethan Coen’s Off-Broadway show “Let’s Love!” through Nov. 22, 2025.
  
• She explained how she got the role and her shift to theater in a new video.
  
• Recent TV spots boost her children’s book tour and visibility.
  
• Expect more Plaza in animation, on stage, and in press this fall.

Aubrey Plaza is in motion this week. Prime Video named her to the voice cast of its adult animated series “Kevin” on October 7, 2025, in an ensemble led by Jason Schwartzman. That follows her return to New York theater in Ethan Coen’s Off-Broadway triptych “Let’s Love!,” now extended through November 22, 2025. She also shared how she landed the stage role in a new video released October 8.

This mix of animation, theater, and TV is classic Plaza. She moves between formats without fuss. Here is what changed this week, how to watch or attend, and why it matters for fans.

1) Prime Video confirms Plaza for “Kevin”

Prime Video set the main voice cast for “Kevin,” an adult animated comedy created by Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wengert. The platform announced Plaza among the series regulars on October 7, 2025. The roster also includes Jason Schwartzman and other well known voices. Deadline noted that the project was first revealed in 2024 and will stream in more than 240 countries and territories. Plaza’s mix of dry timing and oddball warmth fits adult animation. Fans of “Little Demon” and her deadpan TV work can expect a similar edge. The streaming play also keeps her global reach strong during a stage run. (Source: Deadline.)

What to expect next. Prime Video usually staggers a teaser, a full trailer, and a premiere date reveal. Watch for casting clips and character art this fall. Plaza’s press stops for theater and her book tour give “Kevin” a publicity ramp without a separate tour.

2) Off-Broadway: “Let’s Love!” extends to Nov. 22

Plaza is on stage at Atlantic Theater Company in Ethan Coen’s “Let’s Love!,” a trio of one-act comedies. Previews began on September 25 at the Linda Gross Theater. Playbill reported on October 3 that the limited run extended through November 22, with opening night on October 15. Neil Pepe directs. The cast features Plaza alongside Chris Bauer, Dylan Gelula, Dion Graham, Mary Wiseman, and others.

What the show is. Coen’s piece explores love in all its messy shapes, across three self-contained acts. The runtime is about 90 minutes with no intermission. The tone skews sharp and snappy, with bite. For Plaza, it is a turn toward live timing and audience energy after a strong TV streak in “The White Lotus” and Marvel’s “Agatha All Along.”

How Plaza got the part. In a video posted October 8, Plaza explained that the role was written with her in mind and that theater has become a focus for creative risk. She describes the work as lighter than her 2023 stage debut in “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,” but not easier. The video also shows her mindset as she returns to the stage and keeps the work fun.

Practical details. Tickets are available through Atlantic. The venue is in Manhattan’s Chelsea. Seating is intimate, which suits Plaza’s low-key comic style.

3) TV spots and a fresh public profile

Plaza’s press week includes morning-show appearances tied to her children’s book “Luna and the Witch Throw a Halloween Party,” co-written with Dan Murphy. Clips circulated on social platforms and entertainment sites on October 8. The timing is smart. Morning TV puts her in front of families as Halloween season begins, while theater press hits New York fans.

The big picture. Plaza has balanced grief in her private life with a steady return to public work. She first spoke about her husband Jeff Baena’s death in August, during a conversation with Amy Poehler. Now she is using selective TV moments to promote creative projects, not just talk about loss. That choice keeps her story centered on work and craft.

Why it matters

For fans. You get Plaza in three modes at once. Watch the animated series for her voice and wit. See “Let’s Love!” for her live timing and risk taking. Catch her TV spots for a warmer, unscripted tone.

For the industry. Plaza’s year shows how to pace a portfolio. One streaming project with global reach. One limited stage run for credibility and joy. A short TV push to tie it all together. This keeps her visible without flooding any single channel.

For newcomers. If you know Plaza only from “Parks and Recreation,” this fall is a clean re-introduction. She is playful, sharp, and still surprising.

What happens next

• Prime Video will release the first teaser and key art for “Kevin.” A date reveal should follow.
  
• “Let’s Love!” opens October 15. Early reviews will land that week. Extension suggests strong demand.
  
• Expect a few more short interviews tied to the play and book events through late October.
