The Golden Axe animated series is now streaming on Paramount+, with all 10 episodes released together on September 16. The show adapts SEGA’s 1989 arcade fantasy into an animated action-comedy, which is one way to bring a beat-’em-up back without asking anyone to find a working cabinet. Paramount+ confirms the full-season release, while SEGA outlines the series’ connection to the original game.
Golden Axe animated series: what is it about?
The story brings Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead back together to fight Death Adder, the giant villain who remains inconveniently difficult to defeat. They are joined by Hampton Squib, an inexperienced adventurer whose confidence appears to have arrived before the rest of his skills.
The series is designed as a comedic homage to the game rather than a straight retelling. It keeps the familiar warriors, creatures and fantasy setting while adding a new character and a lighter tone.
Who voices the Golden Axe characters?
Matthew Rhys voices Gilius Thunderhead, Danny Pudi plays Hampton Squib, Lisa Gilroy voices Tyris Flare, Liam McIntyre plays Ax Battler and Carl Tart voices Chronos “Evil” Lait. Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler created the series.
