Gremlins: The Wild Batch is returning for the second half of season 2 very soon, and we’ve got your exclusive first look at the anticipated Wild Batch debut of John Glover. Glover starred in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and now returns to the franchise as Rodney, who has a mysterious connection with the Clamp family. As you can see in the video above, Rodney is stuck in Clamp Castle, and now so is the team, but perhaps they can help each other find a way out and avoid the castle’s phantom Lady Lilian Clamp. You can watch the full clip in the video above.

When you’re dealing with phantoms, anything is possible, which the team will soon learn. While the ultimate goal remains to free Elle’s mother from the Water God Kung-Kung, they will have to figure out a way out of the castle first, and that means getting Rodney’s help. He isn’t too keen to be captured by Lilian Clamp though, so that might not be easy, but Chang can be quite convincing.
The episode is titled Never Get Out of the Truck, and the logline reads, “Our heroes journey west to free Elle’s mother from servitude to the Water God Kung-Kung, but find themselves stranded in the deadly tourist trap known as CLAMP CASTLE.”
Glover is the latest addition to an already fantastic voice cast, which includes Simu Liu, Kelly Hu, Will Forte, Ronny Chieng, Michael Paul Chan, Keith David, Kelly Hu, and Jimmy O. Yang, just to name a few. Liu’s new character Chang has had a big impact on season 2 already, and as evidenced in the clip, that will only continue as we make our way to the season finale. You can check out the official description of Gremlins: The Wild Batch below.
