Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater and Clark Duke will lead the voice cast for Inside Job, the upcoming Netflix adult animated series from creator/showrunner Shion Takeuchi.
Series regulars will also include Andrew Daly, Bobby Lee, John DiMaggio, Tisha Campbell and Brett Gelman.
This is the first project in Takeuchi’s overall deal with Netflix. She and exec producer Alex Hirsch (creator of Gravity Falls) will announce the cast on Monday as part of a series sneak peak as part of the Annecy International Animation Festival.
In what the studio is billing as the first adult animation series produced by Netflix Animation Studio, Inside Job is a comedy about a shadow government and the dysfunctional team whose daily grind is committing the world’s conspiracies.
