The Golden Axe animated series debuts its first trailer

by

We’ve now gotten our first look at Golden Axe’s animated television debut with the reveal trailer of the series.

The new Golden Axe animated series, originally announced for Comedy Central, is debuting exclusively on the Paramount+ video streaming service on September 16th, 2026. The show was officially announced two years ago as a ten episode series written by Mike McMahan (Star Trek: The Lower Decks, Solar Opposites) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!), who also serve as executive producers alongside SegaSammy’s CEO Haruki Satomi, Sega’s president and COO Shuji Utsumi, and Sega’s own Toru Nakahara. Animation is being done at Titmouse. (Dang!, The Legend of Vox Machina)

The show will, indeed, be an action comedy featuring the original game’s trio of heroes, Ax Battler (Voiced by Liam McIntyre), Tyris Flare (Lisa Gilroy), and Guilius Thunderhead (Matthew Rhys), as they’re joined by a new character who is delightfully underpowered and underprepared and has no business being on an epic quest but the actual heroes let him tag along anyway cause reasons: Hampton Squib (Danny Pudi). The foursome are also, surprisingly, joined by Chronos “Evil” Lait (Carl Tart) (You know. From Golden Axe III (1996))

You can see the actual trailer below past the break. (That’s what we like to call this blue, highly clickable text down here that says “Continue Reading”, cause that’s what we do around here. And then you just read all of it, cause I worked really hard researching and writing. OH! But also, watch the trailer, please.)
