So apparently Lime Pictures dropped a press release alongside the Official Trailer that revealed the main voice cast for Wolf King.
Wolf King trailer debuts - with casting announcement for Lime Pictures' first animated Netflix series - Lime Pictures
Ceallach Spellman (Cold Feet) as Drew
Nina Barker Francis (House of the Dragon) as Whitley - This seems to the her first main cast role. Most of her previous roles were minor, if even multi-episode.
Georgia Lock (The Evermoor Chronicles) as Gretchen
Chris Lew Kum Hoi (War Machine 2017) as Hector
Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines) as Lucas
Colin Ryan (Final Fantasy XlV, Hades 2) as Vincent
Louis Landau (The Serpent Queen) as Trent
Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) as Mack and Manfred - Really pushing the idea of Stagdad huh? One of Drew's father figures sharing a voice with the man that raised him is interesting. Have to wait until the series drops to hear the difference in performances.
Paterson Joseph (Wonka) as Bergan
David Dawson (The Last Kingdom) as Vega
David Yip (Pennyworth) as Huth and Hamwell - Huth is someone most any book reader will know, but I can't seem to find Hamwell in the books. If anyone can identify that character - assuming he isn't just a show original character - please let me know.
Kate Fleetwood (The Wheel of Time) as Amelie and Tilly - Interesting that both of Drew's mothers are voiced by the same actress. I had proposed a theory in a previous post about how Tilly could be from Shadowhaven like Amelie in the Show. What I didn't mention was that a joked with the idea that they were going to retcon Tilly and Amelie to be related. I don't take it seriously, simply by the lore implications with Trent. This casting made me double take on that 'theory'.
Kim Adis (The Witcher: Blood Origin) as Erin - For the life of me I can't find Erin as a character within Wereworld. If they appear in the books please inform me, I don't have all of them on hand to readily reference. It could also be that this is a show original character.
Kobna Holdbrook Smith (Mary Poppins Returns) as Hogan
Ralph Ineson (Nosferatu) as Leopold - Nothing special here, just that I'm fairly proud to have identified his voice the moment I heard Leopold from the trailer. I recognized him from Legends of Vox Machina.
Rasmus Hardiker (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) as Mikkel
Rob Rackstraw (Bob the Builder) as Vankaskan and Vanmorten - Makes sense that two of the Rat King would be voiced by the same actor. And given Rackstraw's ridiculous range in past roles, he can pull it off. Also, if you know Curtis Joblings previous work, this is a very appropriate casting.
Samuel Anderson (The History Boys) as Broghan
Miscellaneous thoughts on the cast:
A fairly stacked cast, specifically from a British perspective. Notable names mixed in with up and comers, professional voice actors, television actors and comedians.
It's interesting that Tilly and Mack share voice actors with other parental figures for Drew in this series. It makes me wonder if it's intentional, or they had already cast Amelie and Manfred and their actors just happened to read for the Ferrans as well. It feels intentional, given the relationships and that we later learn that Manfred has feelings for the Queen.
It seems most characters are cast to match their enthicity. Which tracks with most Netflix original voice casting nowadays.
