Netflix has announced new animated series “Bass X Machina” for the Halloween season, starring Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).
“Bass X Machina” will debut on Netflix on October 6, 2026.
The series is set “in a lawless Steampunk West overrun by brutal outlaws, machines, and supernatural terrors, a father is forced to become judge, jury, and executioner—knowing that every act of justice meant to protect his family may ultimately cost him the very people he’s fighting to save.”
Joining Brian Tyree Henry, who plays Bass and also executive produces, in the voice cast are Janelle Monáe (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Hidden Figures) as Glory, Tati Gabrielle (The Last of Us, YOU) as Dana, Cree Summer (Voltron: Legendary Defender, Sabrina: The Animated Series) as Ahni, Chaske Spencer (Teacup, The Twilight Saga) as Lighthorse, Currie Graham (Reacher, Assault on Precinct 13) as Rivenbark, and Starletta DuPois (One Battle After Another, The Notebook, Big Momma’s House) as Etta.
The first look images give a closer look at Henry’s character, but not much else. It remains unclear just what supernatural terrors will await.
The animation for “Bass x Machina” will be done by South Korea’s Studio Mir. The series will also feature original music by Roman GianArthur and Nate Wonder at Wondaland.
“Bass X Machina” will join Netflix’s substantial animation slate, which includes Emmy-winning “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft” and “Devil May Cry.”
