Netflix will debut the new animated series All Hail King Julien on December 19, 2014. The streaming network will debut all five new 22 minute episodes of the DreamWorks Animation comedy that day.

The series will be voiced by Danny Jacobs as King Julien, Henry Winkler as Uncle King Julien, Andy Richter as Mort, Kevin Michael Richardson as Maurice, and India de Beaufort as Clover, the king’s special-ops expert.

“The combination of comedy, original music and stories of simple lemur life turned upside-down and fabulous by King Julien makes this series unique,” said Margie Cohn, head of television for DreamWorks Animation. “All Hail King Julien is really a showcase for our talented artists to bring the Netflix audience the great storytelling, compelling characters and fantastic design that is the hallmark of DreamWorks Animation.”

“We are excited to add a series focused on one of the most beloved characters from Madagascar to our growing line-up from DreamWorks Animation,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content, Netflix. “King Julien knows how to throw a great party and we expect families around the world will enjoy spending their holidays with him.”

The Plot:

Long before the Zoosters arrive on Madagascar, King Julien holds court – not to mention nightly revelries – over a colorful cast that includes fan favorites Mort and Maurice, along with a host of all-new jungle dwellers as they take on the craziest adventures and wildest parties the jungle has to offer.
