Besides lovable little Gizmo, the key character who appeared in both of the original Gremlins movies was Billy, who was given Gizmo as a Christmas present in the first movie and then reunited with him in New York City in Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
The announcement was made at the show’s Comic-Con panel, where the series revealed several other guest stars: Sandra Oh, Randall Park, George Takei, Bowen Yang.
The series’ main voice cast already includes Ming-Na Wen, James Hong, BD Wong, and Izaac Wang.
So it’s only fitting — if a little surprising — that Zach Galligan, who played Billy in both movies, will return as a recurring guest star in the upcoming Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai animated series on HBO Max.
