Who are the celebrity narrators in Animal?
The narrators for season one include Bryan Cranston, Rashida Jones, Rebel Wilson and Pedro Pascal and it will focus on Big Cats, Dogs, Marsupials and Octopus.
In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com, Animal's producer revealed the famous narrators' unique connections to their episodes.
“We felt that having one narrator to write all of the episodes wouldn’t be a fair ambassador of all the different species,” Bill Markham explained. “So what we thought was finding narrators who would fit the personalities and the characters of the animal groups.”
Speaking of actress Rebel Wilson, who voices the Marsupials episode, he explained: “Obviously she’s Australian and she loves marsupials and spends quite a lot of time, I think, helping out koalas and so on. But also, they’re quite a quirky bunch, the marsupials. So her character really fit with this slightly tongue-in-cheek group of animals.”
