Tom Ellis Isn’t the Only Big Star in Exploding Kittens
Netflix
Exploding Kittens will be the first big project Ellis stars in since the ending of Lucifer back in 2021. Since then, he has only participated in one episode of Robot Chicken. But he is not the only great actor who is part of the cast of the new Netflix animated series.
Acclaimed actress Lucy Liu will join him by playing GodCat nemesis, Satan. In recent years, the Charlie’s Angels star has played two other voice roles, in Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? and Star Wars: Visions, while earlier this year she played another villain in DC’s flop Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Next year she will shine again with just her voice in Kung Fu Panda 4, where she plays Master Viper.
The Glee Project star Abraham Lim is also part of the cast, playing the role of Travis. Beyond his participation in the famous reality show, he has appeared in other series such as Faking It, How to Get Away with Murder, Charmed, The Rookie, and The Boys.
Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger’s Ally Maki plays another of the main characters. The actress is currently part of the cast of the animated series Hit-Monkey, so she also has plenty of experience with voice roles. Her filmography also includes The Owl House, Wrecked, and Toy Story 4.
Mark Proksch (What We Do in the Shadows), and Sasheer Zamata (The Mitchells vs. the Machines) are also part of the cast, with Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman serving as co-showrunners.
Exploding Kittens is coming to Netflix soon.
