It’s been reported that Jude Law will voice Kai’s robot butler/ally/rocket ship, Charles, and that the titular setting will be a mashup of New York City and Tokyo. The tagline — “things are bubbling in the sea beneath 14th street” — teases a fantastical world we’ll explore beneath Neo Yokio, the details of which have yet to be revealed.
Jaden Smith also revealed a second picture of Kai, which you can check out below.
Neo Yokio will premiere on Netflix on September 22nd.
