The new season of the “fantastical” preschool 3DCG animated series welcomes Disney Legend and voice of Alice in the original 1951 film Alice in Wonderland, Kathryn Beaumont, to guest star in the 22-minute special titled “Alice's First Day in Wonderland" premiering this fall.
Additional Season 2 guest stars include Broadway and television star Merle Dandridge (Rent, The Last of Us) as the Silver Queen; Swayam Bhatia (Succession) as Kyra the Knight; Mark Williams (Harry Potter franchise) as Ribbitton, a frog footman; and Karen Fukuhara (The Boys) as Sakura, a singing and dancing cherry blossom.
In the new season, Alice, the great-granddaughter of the original heroine and a budding young baker at the enchanted Wonderland Bakery, goes through the Looking Glass, after finding a magical mirror in the pantry, that transports her to a whimsical chessboard world. On this side of the Looking Glass, anything Alice imagines is possible. With the Silver Queen as their guide, Alice and her friends - Rosa, Hattie, Fergie, and others - meet all sorts of curious characters in this season, including Kyra the Knight, Jacques the Mock Turtle, and Mopsy, the mop dog.
