The cast and crew behind Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur hosted an innovative and engaging bash for families at Atlanta’s popular attraction Cascade Family Skating. The event, inspired by Moon Girl Magic, highlighted the upcoming Feb 2 premiere of the show’s second season.
Based on Marvel’s hit comic books, the multiple Emmy Award-winning series follows the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette and her 10-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur, as they protect her Lower East Side neighborhood from danger.
The voice cast includes Diamond White as Lunella Lafayette (aka Moon Girl), Fred Tatasciore as Devil Dinosaur, Libe Barer as Casey, Alfre Woodard as Mimi, Sasheer Zamata as Adria, Jermaine Fowler as James Jr., Gary Anthony Williams as Pops, and executive producer Laurence Fishburne as The Beyonder.
In season two, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are in their element as superheroes. However, as Moon Girl’s superhero-ing intertwines more with her personal life, she must decide if the cost of keeping her identity a secret is worth the toll it takes on her family.
“Season one is about Lunella becoming Moon Girl, but season two is about her being Moon Girl. Not everybody knows who she is. The conflict that she has is that she’s keeping a secret from her family that she’s Moon Girl; that’s going to weigh pretty heavily on her,” said Executive Producer Steve Loter.
“Our entire writers’ room was comprised of women, with most of our directors being women as well. Even though we’re leveling up like superheroes and interdimensional beings, we’re also exploring episodes and shows that delve into what little girls and women go through – the pressures and anxieties. So, it’s relatable for girls and women in this season,” said Pilar Flynn, Co-Executive Producer.
