Children and other lovers of animated series aimed toward younger audiences will be thrilled to learn that Netflix is bringing a few new shows on board to pad their line-up. Three series have been announced, along with artwork and synopses for each and their estimated release dates.
First up on the list is A Tale Dark & Grimm, which has a voice cast comprised of Raini Rodriguez, Andre Robinson (The Loud House), Scott Adsit (30 Rock), Ron Funches, Erica Rhodes (La Vie en Rhodes), Adam Lambert, Eric Bauza (Space Jam: A New Legacy), Tom Hollander, Missi Pyle and Nicole Byer (Nailed It). The series follows Hansel and Gretel as they escape their own fairytale to wind up in others.
A Tale Dark & Grimm drops on Netflix this fall, joined by Dogs in Space which sees canines search for a new habitable home for humans across the galaxy. The pups in the series will be voiced by Haley Joel Osment (Kominsky Method), Sarah Chalke (Rick and Morty), Kimiko Glenn (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Chris Parnell (Archer), David Lopez, Debra Wilson (MADtv), and William Jackson Harper (The Underground Railroad).
Rounding out the trio with a 2022 release date is Super Giant Robot Brothers, which is... exactly what it sounds like. With the shortest synopsis of the three and no voice cast announced, it may well still be in the early stages of production.
While there aren't currently any trailers for these shows, we have included art and synopses for each below, so be sure to check them all out and tell us which you're most excited about in the usual spot!
This action-comedy animated series follows two giant robots who discover they are brothers, as they help defend Earth from the forces of intergalactic evil.
Super Giant Robot Brothers hits Netflix in 2022
In the not-so-distant future, genetically enhanced dogs are sent across the universe in search of a new home for the human race. It’s a giant cosmic game of fetch, as the canines seek a planet that will save humanity and — more importantly — let them return to their beloved owners.
Space Dogs descends onto Netflix in the Fall of this year.
Based on the best-selling book series by Adam Gidwitz, the animated series follows Hansel and Gretel as they run away from home to find better parents … or at least ones who won’t chop off their heads! As Hansel and Gretel leave their own story and venture through other classic Grimm fairy tales, unexpected narrators’ guide us through their encounters with witches, warlocks, dragons and even the devil himself. As the siblings roam a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind the famous tales, as well as how to take charge of their destinies and create their own happily ever after. Because once upon a time, fairy tales were awesome.
A Tale Dark & Grimm will be available to stream on Netflix this fall.
