Just in time for the launch of the
Season 2 Kickstarter Campaign, the web series that’s been praised by MTV, Entertainment Weekly, Nerdist, the AV Club and the Huffington Post, as well as named “the best of TV on the web for 2012” by USA Today, is proud to announce its latest guest star!
Star Trek: Voyager and
Stargate: Atlantis alum Robert Picardo will join Travis Richey (The Inspector), Carrie Keranen (Piper Tate) and Eric Loya (Boyish the Extraordinary), as well as previously announced guest star,
Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik (voice of the B.O.O.T.H.)! Picardo will play the part of Bernard, a mysterious character who will factor heavily into the second season.
Executive Producer and star Travis Richey (
Pretty Little Liars,
Community’s Inspector Spacetime) had this to say about the series’ latest casting coup: "I'm over the moon about being able to work with Robert Picardo. I've been aware of him almost my whole life, from watching
The Wonder Years and
China Beach with my mom to his turn as Johnny Cab in
Total Recall to, of course, one of the absolute best parts of
Star Trek: Voyager! And now, after having shot his scenes for the Season 2 Prequel Episode, I can say that he is one of the kindest, most generous actors I've ever had the pleasure of being threatened by!”
With the Season 2 Prequel Episode of
Untitled Web Series About a Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time currently in post-production, Director Nicholas Acosta (
Riddance,
Friend Request) let his geek flag fly. “Snagging Picardo is sweet! Working with the EMH is a dream come true. I wish I could high-five my younger self who sat in my room watching
Voyager for hours.”
The fan-funded Prequel Episode’s release date is tentatively set for July 31st, and other Season 2 guest stars will be announced over the coming weeks!
