Exciting news for fans of the animated series 'The Bravest Knight' as Alan Cumming and Jane Lynch have been announced as new additions to the cast for the upcoming second season. The show, which has been praised for its groundbreaking representation of LGBTQ+ characters and themes, is set to continue its trailblazing journey with the return of stars T.R.

In the upcoming season, T.R. Knight will reprise his role as the younger Cedric, while Bobby Moynihan returns as Cedric's troll companion, Grunt.

The cast also includes returning members Storm Reid, Wilson Cruz, and Christine Baranski, among others.

Creator Daniel Errico expressed his excitement for the show's continued success, stating, 'We are thrilled by the show's reception and excited for the chance to reveal the next chapter of the story, brought to life by a remarkable cast.' T.R. Knight shared his pride in being part of the series, emphasizing the humor and heart that make it a standout for viewers of all ages.

Directed by Shabnam Rezaei, 'The Bravest Knight' has received acclaim for its inclusivity, winning the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming in 2020. The first season featured guest stars like RuPaul, Wanda Sykes, Jazz Jennings, and AJ McLean, with more Queer icons in talks to join Cumming and Lynch in season two.

Fans can look forward to new adventures and challenges as Sir Cedric and his companions traverse a fantasy kingdom, encountering friends and foes along the way. Season two of 'The Bravest Knight' is set to air later this year, promising to continue its legacy of heartwarming storytelling and diverse representation.
