We can’t say we expected this news today:Segais following up on the success of the pair ofSonic the Hedgehogmovies with an animated series adaptation of Genesis side-scrolling classic Golden Axe.
As perVariety, Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of the series – which comes from co-creators Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Rick and Morty) and Joe Chandler (American Dad).
The voice cast is similarly packed with talent as The Americans’ Matthew Rhys is joined by Danny Pudi (Community), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus: Vengeance) and Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty). Carl Tart will play Chronos, a villain first seen in Golden Axe 3.
First debuting on the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive in the UK) and arcades, Golden Axe spawned several sequels including Golden Axe 2, Golden Axe 3, Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, and 2008’s tepidly-received title Golden Axe: Beast Rider.
