Sega’s arcade hack-and-slash beat-’em-up تبر طلایی is being adapted for television. In something of an unexpected twist, that TV series will be an animated comedy. Mike McMahan (پیشتازان ستاره: عرشه های پایین تر, روبروی خورشیدی) and Joe Chandler (پدر آمریکایی!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the 10-episode series, Comedy Central announced Wednesday. The announcement came two days after Paramount revealed that season 5 of عرشه های پایین تر would be the series’ final installment.

تبر طلایی heroes Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead will face down the evil Death Adder in the animated comedy, and they’ll be joined by an all-new character: inexperienced adventurer Hampton Squib, voiced by اجتماع’s Danny Pudi. Joining Pudi in the voice cast are Matthew Rhys (آمریکایی ها) as lightning-powered dwarf Gilius, Lisa Gilroy (وظیفه هیئت منصفه) as fiery swordswoman Tyris, and Liam McIntyre (اسپارتاکوس) as the earthshaking Ax — who does نه fight with an ax, and is described as “a barbarian warrior with a strict code of honor and sweet golden retriever demeanor.”

کمدی مرکزی تبر طلایی will feature another deep-cut character from the franchise: Chronos “Evil” Lait, voiced by Carl Tart (پیشتازان ستاره: عرشه های پایین تر). Chronos is the black panther/human hybrid warrior from Sega Genesis sequel تبر طلایی 3, who was turned into a beastman by that game’s big bad boss, Damned Hellstrike. This is a game series with really good character names, folks.

Animation studio Titmouse, responsible for series like دهان بزرگ, قورباغه و وزغ, افسانه Vox Machina, and much more, is animating the تبر طلایی سری.

تبر طلایی is one of several Sega adaptations in the works. The سومین فیلم Sonic the Hedgehog will hit theaters later this year (with Keanu Reeves joining the franchise as Shadow), and a spin-off centered on Knuckles the Echidna drops on Paramount Plus in April. There’s also a Streets of Rage movie in the works, with John Wick franchise creator Derek Kolstad at the helm.

Sega has been trying for the better part of a decade to turn its video game properties into film and television projects. The company has previously announced adaptations of games like نینجایی و Rent-A-Hero, without much to show for it. But 2020 است سونیک خارپشت سینما appears to have accelerated Sega’s plans, with more projects finally coming to fruition.

تبر طلایی is also being revived in video game form. At last year’s The Game Awards, Sega revealed modern iterations of its medieval fantasy beat-’em-up alongside new versions of جت تنظیم رادیو, تاکسی دیوانه, نینجاییو خیابان های خشم.
