Exclusive: Wondla interviews with Jeanine Mason, Teri Hatcher, creator Tony DiTerlizzi & EP Bobs Gannaway
Playing on Apple TV+ is the animated series Wondla, featuring the voices of Jeanine Mason, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett, Gary Anthony Williams, Chiké Okonkwo, D. C. Douglas, and Alan Tudyk. The seven-episode first season of “WondLa” premiered globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 28.
Hailing from Skydance Animation and based on the New York Times bestselling book series “The Search for WondLa” by Tony DiTerlizzi., “WondLa” centers around Eva, voiced by Jeanine Mason, a curious, enthusiastic, and spirited teenager being raised in a state-of-the-art underground bunker by Muthr, a robot caretaker, voiced by Emmy Award nominee Teri Hatcher.
On her 16th birthday, an attack on Eva’s bunker forces her onto the Earth’s surface which is now inhabited by aliens, covered with other-worldly fauna, and no other humans to be found. In fact, it’s no longer called Earth but Orbona. Otto, a loveable giant water bear with whom Eva shares telepathic powers voiced by Emmy Award winner Brad Garrett (“Everybody Loves Raymond”) and Rovender, a cantankerous alien with a troubled past voiced by Gary Anthony Williams (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”) join Eva as she leads the team on a dangerous quest to find humans, her home, and her true destiny.
Also lending their voices to the cast are Chiké Okonkwo as Besteel, the greatest hunter in all of Orbona; D.C. Douglas as Omnipod, Dynasty Corporation’s sentient hand-held device, issued to every human at the age of six; Emmy Award nominee Alan Tudyk as Cadmus Pryde, founder of Dynastes Corporation.
The epic trilogy premieres with an adventure-packed seven-episode season, and is executive produced by Tony DiTerlizzi and Bobs Gannaway alongside Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, Julie Kane-Ritsch and Skydance Animation’s John Lasseter, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg.
