Overview
- Paramount+ debuted the series' first official trailer on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, and announced Golden Axe will premiere on September 16, 2026.
- The show adapts SEGA’s 1989 arcade brawler into a tongue-in-cheek animated comedy that follows Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they reunite to confront Death Adder.
- Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler co-created the series, co-wrote the first episode together, and Chandler serves as showrunner with both listed as executive producers.
- The principal voice cast confirmed in the trailer includes Matthew Rhys, Liam McIntyre, Lisa Gilroy, Danny Pudi and Carl Tart, and production partners include CBS Studios, Sony Pictures Television and Original Film.
- The series was earlier developed at Comedy Central before landing at Paramount+ and the trailer mixes clear visual nods to the games with a modern, potentially divisive, irreverent tone.
