Amazon's "Secret Level" is an upcoming anthology series based on various video game franchises, which is expected to be similar to "Love, Death + Robots". Thanks to a recent leak, we also now know the cast.
Imagine a world where you can watch a beautifully animated show featuring some of your favorite video game characters and stories. Well, you don’t have to imagine it anymore, because it’s coming soon.
Amazon has been making waves in TV ever since the release of Season 1 of "The Boys." Now, with a strong new partner, they may create the best video game adaptation yet—they’ve already shown what they can do with "Fallout".
Update (October 15) — Cast revealed: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, and Keanu Reeves
After weeks of silence, there’s finally news about the upcoming Prime series—though not from Amazon directly. According to MP1ST, a leak surfaced in a Telegram group. While that’s not the most reliable source, the trailer contained Amazon’s watermarks, and the company has since taken it down due to copyright issues.
The leaked trailer also revealed some of the voice actors we’ll hear in December, and the cast looks fantastic. Here’s the main lineup:
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Patrick Schwarzenegger
- Kevin Hart
- Heaven Hart
- Keanu Reeves
- Temuera Morrison
- Ariana Greenblatt
- Emily Swallow
- Gabriel Luna
- Ricky Whittle
- Merle Dandridge
- Claudia Doumit
- Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
- Clive Standen
- Michael Beach
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, and their children all in one series? That sounds like a lot of fun. We don’t yet know who they’ll be voicing, but we’re definitely excited.
Secret Level: A new gaming anthology series
If you’re a fan of animation, you’ve probably seen "Love, Death + Robots," an anthology series where each episode is a standalone story.
Each episode presents a short story with a different setting, tone, and animation style. "Love, Death + Robots" was a huge success, and if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth checking out.
Why mention this? Because the creator of "Love, Death + Robots," Tim Miller, is the mind behind "Secret Level."
"Secret Level" will feature 15 unique stories, much like "Love, Death + Robots." Each short story will focus on different game franchises, giving the show a chance to explore fresh narratives within familiar gaming worlds.
The trailer showcases iconic characters from games like Mega Man, God of War, Warhammer 40,000, Sifu, Armored Core, and many more.
The show will debut on December 10 on Prime Video.
As a huge fan of "Love, Death + Robots," I’m confident this show will be a hit. It could potentially rival critically acclaimed series like "Arcane."
But as always, we’ll have to wait and see.
What about you? Are you looking forward to Secret Level?
