Netflix is adapting the bestselling books The Last Kids on Earth for a new animated series. The voice cast has just been announced and it features horror icon, Bruce Campbell (interview)!
Campbell will star alongside Mark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, Catherine O’Hara, Keith David, Garland Whitt, Montse Hernadez, and Charles Demers, with Nick Wolfhard voicing the main character Jack Sullivan.
The books follow “13-year-old Jack Sullivan and a band of suburban middle schoolers who live in a decked-out tree house, play video games, gorge themselves on candy, and battle zombies in the aftermath of the monster apocalypse. It’s a hilarious series filled with wisecracking kids, crazy gadgets, a lifetime supply of zombies and giant-sized monsters.”
Developed by Atomic Cartoons, the animated series is set to premiere later this year. Max Brallier, who wrote the books not only created the series but will also serve as executive producer, with Scott Peterson serving as showrunner.
