Based on the best-selling children's books by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), the show follows an adventurous 10-year-old named Max who embarks on a quest with her newfound friends, a group of misfits known as the Midknights, to save the Kingdom of Byjovia from ominous forces.
The voice cast includes Blu del Barrio (Star Trek: Discovery) as Max; Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Millie, a wacky yet super positive and magical girl; Zeno Robinson (Transformers: EarthSpark) as Simon, Millie’s street-savvy and sometimes sarcastic companion; and Caleb Yen (Beyblade X) as Kevyn, the bookish genius with a photographic memory.
Alongside the Midknights, Jeremy Rowley (iCarly) lends his voice as Uncle Budrick while Gary Anthony Williams (Central Park) voices Mumblin, Brian Stepanek (The Loud House) voices King Gastley, and India de Beaufort (It’s Pony) voices Fendra.
