Already binged all the episodes? Don’t worry. More are coming.
Taking to Twitter earlier today, visionary filmmaker/all-around awesome person Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) confirmed that a second season of his animated Netflix series “Trollhunters” is soon headed to the streaming service. The 26-episode first season, which was actually more like two seasons combined into one, hit Netflix late last year, and has proven to be a massive hit.
Most exciting of all, Del Toro also revealed that star Anton Yelchin, who tragically passed away last year, had already completed voice-work on the new episodes. He tweeted:
SEASON 2 of TROLLHUNTERS is confirmed! And we are able to preserve Anton’s voice work entirely! Anton’s work for TROLLHUNTERS was many episodes ahead of Season 1. A year ago we had already storyboarded Season 2. Anton recorded it all!
Del Toro added:
We have 52 episodes mapped for TROLLHUNTERS. We delivered 26 (two 13 episode seasons) in what we called Season 1. More to come!
In the series, “When ordinary teenager Jim Lake Jr. stumbles upon a mystical amulet on his way to school one morning, he inadvertently discovers an extraordinary secret civilization of mighty trolls beneath his small town of Arcadia. Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil, Jim is determined to save the world – right after gym class.”
