We can’t say we expected this news today: Sega is following up on the success of the pair of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic the Hedgehog movies with an animated series adaptati𒐪on of Genesis side-scrolling class🃏ic Golden Axe.

As per , Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of the series – which comes f🎶rom 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.

The show’s description states that Golden Axe will "follow veter꧋an warriors Ax Battler (McIntyre), Tyris Flare (Gilroy), and Gilius Thunderhead (Rhys) as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant 🍎Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib (Pudi) on their side."

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.
