However, in 2022, a Canadian comedy streaming television miniseries titled "The Pentaverate" was created by Mike Myers for Netflix. This series draws inspiration from conspiracy theories presented in his 1993 film. In the movie, the Pentaverate is depicted as a group of five influential individuals who clandestinely manipulate global events. It's crucial to emphasize that the concept of the Pentaverate is entirely a product of fiction crafted for comedic purposes in the film. It has no basis in any actual secret society or historical reality.
"In the movie 'So I Married an Axe Murderer,' the Pentaverate is portrayed as a shadowy organization with immense power, while in the 2022 comedy miniseries 'The Pentaverate,' the concept takes a humorous twist as it parodies conspiracy theories."
