Based on the New York Times bestselling book series byMax Brallier, the fun and lighthearted seriesTheLastKidsonEarthfollows Jack Sullivan (Nick Wolfhard) and a band of suburban middle-schoolers living in a decked-out tree house, playing video games, gorging themselves on candy and battling zombies. All-new episodes of the action-packed Atomic Cartoons adaptation, from showrunnerScott Peterson, are now streaming on Netflix.
I had a chance to chat with Wolfhard about Season 2 (or Season 1: Part B as it’s displayed on Netflix itself) as part of our continuing interview series forSaturday Mourning Cartoons. We talked about the challenges of living in self-isolation and social distancing in the real world while playing a character trying to survive the apocalypse in the fictional one. Wolfhard also shared his thoughts on Jack’s growth this season, his questionable taste in food, and all the challenges awaiting Jack and his friends throughout these new episodes. Plus, he gave us a behind-the-scenes account of how he and his brotherFinn Wolfhardgot involved with the insane animated shortSmiling Friends, which they did for Adult Swim. All that and more awaits!
Season 2 ofThe Last Kids on Earthalso features the voices ofMark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, Catherine O’Hara, Bruce Campbell, andKeith David. You can hear them all in the new episodes, now streaming on Netflix;check them out here! In the meantime, you can listen along with our interview with Wolfhard and/or read along below:
