Dimension 20 is again for one more season with our magical misfits as Misfits and Magic Season 2 has been introduced for the subsequent journey within the dome. And it is a full season this time around–unlike the four-episode Season 1, Season 2 can have 11.
Misfits and Magic Season 2 sees Aabria Iyengar return to the dome because the Recreation Grasp, and Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Danielle Radford, and Lou Wilson reprise their roles as Evan Kelmp, Ok, Sam Black, and Whitney Jammer.
Selecting up three years after the occasions of Season 1–which noticed 4 regular high-school children studying the ropes of attending a magic faculty and bashing the absurd and nonsensical nature of arcane academics–Season 2 tells a narrative about how Evan, Ok, Sam, and Jammer must deal with the transition to maturity. They’re every attempting to determine what to do, whereas on the similar time, magical catastrophe threatens their livelihood and pals. I acquired large Fantasy Excessive Junior Yr vibes watching the trailer.
In that trailer, Iyengar continues to push the envelope in the case of what a Recreation Grasp can accomplish in the case of visible storytelling. At one level, a shifting and responsive face is even projected onto a pill named Tabby, permitting an NPC to interrupt by and communicate to the opposite gamers (Tabby appears to be voiced by Zac Oyama, one other Dimension 20 mainstay).
The final time Iyengar led a narrative within the dome, Burrow’s Finish (by which Mulligan and Ishii have been additionally gamers), she fought towards the constraints of D&D 5e’s combat-heavy system to inform a terrific story. I can not wait to see what she does returning to Misfits and Magic, which makes use of the way more roleplay-driven Youngsters on Brooms tabletop system.
This may even be the primary Dimension 20 journey to characteristic Iyengar, Mulligan, Ishii, and Wilson since they launched Worlds Past Quantity, an unbiased audio-only podcast the place the 4 play video games collectively. Their repertoire and chemistry has solely skyrocketed since then and I am desirous to see how that performs out in entrance of cameras, particularly with Danielle Radford thrown into the mix–she was a continuing comedic enjoyment of Dimension 20’s Mentopolis as Anastasia Rigidity.
Misfits and Magic Season 2 will kick off September 25, with new episodes premiering each Wednesday.
