These men are in their thirties and believe they still haven't achieved what they're capable of. Though Des and Ray are settled in London and living a normal life, they cannot let go of the thought that life hasn't turned out the way they wanted.

Since Netflix has ordered the animated series, no release date has been announced yet. But it's clear that it's not coming anytime soon, at least not this year. While announcing the show, George Gendi joked:
"If living the dream is being asked for a quote for a press release to announce my new show and then at Netflix’s request, trying to make it more cheeky/funny and then doing that countless times because none of them are good enough, then I’ve made it."
Gendi's fun statement highlights that the upcoming show will definitely be sarcastic and playful. The project is reportedly structured to have eight parts, each running about 25 minutes.
Behind the scenes, the executive producers are Sam Register, Sarah Fell, and Daniel Lennard, while the writing team features Gendi alongside Phoebe Walsh, Ellie White, Joe Parnham, and Joe Markham, several of whom are established names in UK comedy writing.
