Cartoon Network Bringing Back ThunderCats in New Series

Production has started on ThunderCats Roar, an all-new animated series from Warner Bros. Animation based on the classic ’80s characters.

The sci-fi action comedy series features “fresh and vibrant” character designs. The show stays true to the premise of the original series, featuring Lion-O and the ThunderCats—Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat and Wilykit—who barely escape the sudden destruction of their homeworld, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious and exotic planet of Third Earth. ThunderCats Roar is headed to Cartoon Network in 2019.

ThunderCats Roar features among its voice cast Max Mittelman (Justice League Action) as Lion-O and Wilykat, Erica Lindbeck (DC Super Hero Girls) as Cheetara and Wilykit, Patrick Seitz (Justice League Action) as Tygra and Mumm-Ra and Chris Jai Alex (Star Wars: Battlefront II) as Panthro. Victor Courtright (Pickle and Peanut) and Marly Halpern-Graser (Right Now Kapow) serve as producers, with Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) as executive producer.
