Kid Cosmic and the Global Heroes season 3 is now streaming
The third season will be the final season titled Kid Cosmic and the Global Heroes!
Craig McCracken’s latest animated project, Kid Cosmic, has been a delight. Full of funny moments and amazing characters it has quickly become one of my favorite animated shows. McCracken has posted the trailer and release date for the third and final season in the series and though I’ll be very sad to see it end, I’m excited to see how they end it all. Last we left off our heroes had returned to Earth after defeating Erodius to be greeted by three familiarly colored women with the Planet Protection Group, or PPG for short, wanting them to form a new team to find cosmic stones to keep them safe from the forces of evil. Season three sees them get new gear upgrades and it looks like the return of the motorcycle man in black villain from season one. It looks fantastic and hopefully will be a great way to end the series. You can find season three on Netflix February 3, so plenty of time to binge seasons one and two if you haven’t seen them already.
in a interview with Animation Magazine, Craig McCracken said:
Animag: Congratulations on your fantastic new series. Can you tell us a little bit about the origins and inspirations for Kid Cosmic?
Craig McCracken: I wanted to create a show about this period in a kid’s life when they have this naïve confidence that whatever they want to do can happen. I remember when I was a kid, I used to draw comic strips and comic books and didn’t understand why I wasn’t ready to be published at 12. There was another period when I decided to start a t-shirt drawing business and I started drawing cartoon characters and band logos, so I put the word out in school. I thought I was going to have this business where I was going to make tons of money! I had this conviction it was going to work. When developing Kid Cosmic, I wanted to tap into this naïve confidence that all kids have. So, the show is about a kid who has this fantasy of being a hero and that opportunity literally lands at his feet. Would the fantasy play out the way it does in movies or comic-book scenes, or would the reality be much different? That was the basic inspiration.
The voice cast features Amanda C. Miller (Jo), Jack Fisher (The Kid), Keith Ferguson (Papa G), Lily Rose Silver (Rosa), Fred Tatasciore (Tuna Sandwich), Bobby Moynihan (Fantos), Kim Yarbrough (Flo), Cree Summer (Queen Xhan) and Tom Kenny (Chuck).
