Netflix have announced the voice cast for The Twits, a new animated feature set to debut in 2025, with voice talent including Star Wars alumni Emilia Clarke (Qi’ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Natalie Portman (Padmé Amidala in the Prequel Trilogy) alongside Margo Martindale (Cocaine Bear) and Johnny Vegas (Bleak House).
Directed by Phil Johnston (Ralph Breaks the Internet), The Twits centers on Mr. and Mrs. Twit, the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world, who also happen to own and operate the most disgusting, most dangerous, most idiotic amusement park in the world, Twitlandia. But when the Twits rise to power in their town, two brave orphans and a family of magical animals are forced to become as tricky as the Twits in order to save the city.
Johnston wrote the script for The Twits with Meg Favreau. Katie Shanahan and Todd Kunjan Demong are co-directors on the film, produced by Johnston, Maggie Malone and Daisy May West.
The news on The Twits emerged as part of “Next on Netflix: Animation,” the streamer’s preview of animated films and series coming in the next year. In recent years, the service has become a go-to destination for animation, with more than 130M households watching a variety of animation every month.
