Guillermo del Toro's WIZARDS Set to Launch on Netflix Next Month

Wizards is the third and final series for Guillermo del Toro’s Tales of Arcadia saga that started with TrollHunters and continued with 3Below. The show is once again being made by DreamWorks Animation and will premiere on Netflix next month.

The DreamWorks Animation series tells the the story of wizard-in-training Douxie (Colin O’Donoghue) and other heroes of Arcadia on time travel adventure that takes them to the medieval realm of Camelot.

Many members of the cast are returning including Emile Hirsch, Lexi Medrano, Charlie Saxton, Steven Yeun, David Bradley, Lena Headey, Fred Tatasciore, Clancy Brown, Diego Luna, Mark Hamill, and Kelsey Grammer. Meanwhile, Alfred Molina, Stephanie Beatriz, James Faulkner, and John Rhys Davies will be joining the voice cast.

Talking about this final chapter, del Toro said:

‘Wizards’ brings the trilogy full circle. It’s a show that explores the origins of the entire mythology and also an adventure that moves everything- propels it- into the future. We reunite with old friends and get to understand old foes…

Showrunner and executive producer Marc Guggenheim released the following statement about Wizards:

‘Wizards’ follows the time-honored tradition of many trilogies in that the concluding chapter returns to settings, characters and concepts established in the first. At the same time, however, ‘Wizards’ is very much its own animal, drawing on characters from both ‘Trollhunters’ and ‘3Below’ and placing them in a completely new environment that is actually old: Camelot. Although ‘Wizards’ is the shortest of the three series at 10 episodes, I’m blown away by the amount of story we were able to push in this season. The narrative literally spans centuries and contains some of the most emotional content of the entire trilogy.

Wizards will premiere on Netflix starting August 7.
