SDCC 2024: GREMLINS: THE WILD BATCH Adds Simu Liu To Main Voice Cast, Reveals Premiere Date

Gremlins Film Franchise Alum John Glover To Guest Star On The Hit Max Original Prequel Series

Additional Season Two Guest Voices Include Michael Paul Chan, Ronny Chieng, Keith David, Will Forte, Kelly Hu, And Jimmy O. Yang

· At today's GREMLINS: THE WILD BATCH panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Max let loose a flurry of exciting casting announcements for the second season of the hit animated prequel series, including news that Simu Liu will join the main cast, and John Glover - star of the "Gremlins" film sequel - will return to the franchise as a guest voice. The new season will premiere THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 on Max.

· Taking place one year after the events of season one, GREMLINS: THE WILD BATCH follows Gizmo, Sam, and Elle as they travel from their home in Shanghai to San Francisco, bringing even more magic, mystery and Mogwai mayhem. Hot on the trail of a new brood of evil Mogwai, our heroes journey deep into the American West, coming up against new supernatural creatures and picking up a few mysterious characters along the way.

· Liu will play the role of Chang, a handsome, impossibly charming bootlegger and son to one of San Francisco Chinatown's most powerful and influential families. His various escapades have led him to spend quite a bit of time in Alcatraz, so much so that his family believes he's dead. After a twist of fate brings him together with Sam, Elle, and Gizmo, Chang will try to get back to Chinatown while also acting as the trio's roguish guide to America.

· Glover is best known in Gremlins lore for playing the role of eccentric billionaire Daniel Clamp in the film sequel, "Gremlins 2: The New Batch." While few details were shared about the actor's guest appearance in season two, executive producers Tze Chun and Brendan Hay hinted on the panel that audiences may get a peek into the Clamp family ancestry this season.

· Also announced on today's panel, Michael Paul Chan - another Amblin film alum who played Data's father in "The Goonies" - will also make a guest appearance this season alongside an all-star guest voice cast featuring Ronny Chieng, Keith David, Will Forte, Kelly Hu and Jimmy O. Yang.
