Long before the Zoosters arrive on Madagascar, King Julien holds court - not to mention nightly revelries - over a colourful cast that includes fan favourites Mort and Maurice, along with a host of all-new jungle dwellers ias they take on the craziest adventures and wildest parties the jungle has to offer.
Keeping tune with the dance-crazed taste of its lead character, the humor of ALL HAIL KING JULIEN is backed by a pulse-pounding original score that includes a brand-new, infectiously upbeat theme song. The series features a talented voice cast that includes television legend Henry Winkler (Happy Days) as Julien's regal predecessor, Uncle King Julien, alongside Emmy-winning actor Danny Jacobs as King Julien, Andy Richter (Conan, Arrested Development) as Mort, Kevin Michael Richardson (Family Guy) as Maurice, and India de Beaufort (One Tree Hill) as Clover, the king's special-ops expert.
ALL HAIL KING JULIEN joins the hit series Turbo FAST in a growing lineup of Netflix original animated productions from DreamWorks Animation. By the end of 2016, DreamWorks Animation will debut 10 additional new series on the world's leading Internet TV Network.
"The combination of comedy, original music and stories of simple lemur life turned upside-down and fabulous by King Julien makes this series unique," said Margie Cohn, head of television for DreamWorks Animation. "All Hail King Julien is really a showcase for our talented artists to bring the Netflix audience the great storytelling, compelling characters and fantastic design that is the hallmark of DreamWorks Animation."
"We are excited to add a series focused on one of the most beloved characters from Madagascar to our growing line-up from DreamWorks Animation," said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content, Netflix. "King Julien knows how to throw a great party and we expect families around the world will enjoy spending the festive period with him."
