A Comedy Central revealed that a 10-episode animated series of the classic game is in production Golden Ax.

In production by CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and the OriginalFilmthe series stars Matthew Rhys, Danny Pudi, Lisa Gilroy, Liam McIntyre and Carl Tart.

In the press release we can read:

• Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) will play Gilius Thunderhead, a bad-tempered battle dwarf with exceptionally poor hygiene and a chip on his shoulder.
• Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest, Community) as Hampton Squib, a naive and inexperienced adventurer who has always dreamed of going on quests. He hopes his positive attitude can make up for his inability to actually get things done.
• Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty, Interior Chinatown) as Tyris Flare, a fearsome battle sorceress, deadly in a fight and even more deadly with her sharp wit.
• Liam McIntyre (Spartacus, The Flash) as Ax Battler, a barbarian warrior with a strict code of honor and a sweet golden retriever demeanor. His strength surpasses his brain, but his heart surpasses his strength.
• Carl Tart (Grand Crew, Star Trek: Lower Decks) as Chronos ‘Evil’ Lait, originally from Golden Ax III, is a 100% badass humanoid panther. At least that’s how Chronos describes himself. In fact, he’s uncomfortably cheesy and can’t read a room.

Fans can anticipate many exciting cameos from the world of Golden Ax.
