And thankfully, we have a lot of good news. It turns out Nier: Automata was able to bring its English voice actors from the video game back for more fun. The dub’s stars have been announced, and they include everyone from Kira Buckland to Cherami Leigh.
According to the team, Buckland will reprise her role as 2B while Kyle McCarley does the voice of 9S. As for A2, the character will be voiced again by Leigh. These stars all originated their roles in Nier: Automata when it debuted in 2017. So if you were hoping to hear familiar voices, you are in luck!
Of course, this is not the first time the Nier: Automata anime has pulled double duty with its cast. In Japan, the dub there features the Square Enix title’s original cast. The returning voice actors were a definitely win for the Nier: Automata TV series, and fans of the original game admit the reprisals helped them slip back into the Nier Universe.
