Coming to your television screen this Saturday, Lena Headey, known for her role as the Queen Mother Cersei Lannister on the popular HBO series Game of Thrones, will be guest starring on Nickelodeon’s animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Headey will be voicing the villainous Big Mama, a mutant spider of the species Yokai that has the ability to shapeshift into a human. Just like her unstoppable character on Game of Thrones, Headey’s new character Big Mama is a force to be reckoned with, in spider and human form. The shapeshifting mob boss will be making her first appearance in the new episode titled “Bug Busters,” where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles attempt to put a stop to the Oozesquito infestation that is growing within New York City. A sneak-peak of Headey as Big Mama can be seen here.
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is Nickelodoen's latest animated series, which debuted in September 2018. The voice cast for Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles includes Omar Miller as Raph, Brandon Mychal Smith as Mikey, Ben Schwartz as Leo, Josh Brener as Donnie, Kat Graham as April O’Niel, Eric Bauza as Splinter, and John Ceena as Baron Draxum.
The 30-minute-long animated special premieres on Nickelodeon Saturday, November 17th at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT.
