Short lived series or recast?


Sure, they could always just recast the main role, but Anton Yelchin has a pretty distinctive voice. What do you think their next order of business will be?

GDT said they would recast if netflix picks it up for another season.

I really truly live this show. I think continuing it would be a great tribute to Yelchin.

I'm pretty sure they used a sound alike for parts of season 1,his death took place before they were done.

reply

Not true, his lines were completed before he even passed away.

Regardless, the show must go on. This show deserves so much to see the story to completion and I have a feeling Mr. Yelchin would agree. This show is at the cliffhanger. What a wonderful way to honor him by continuing in his memory.

Not for nothing, but there's verification that some of what is heard was a replacement actor. I say the show should continue and this gentleman should carry on the role.

Someone does mention late in the season that Jim is young enough that his voice hasn't even changed yet (probably added post-Anton's passing) to set up a change if a 2nd season happens.

reply

As muchs as I loved Anton's work, it would seem a bit ridiculous to cancel a show, which got very good ratings, because one voice has to be replaced. It's not unusual to change the voices of even main characters. (For example The Amazing World of Gumball)

True, Anton has a really unique voice, so replacing him is going to be tough!

I'm sure they can recast the main role. Yelchin's voice work was nothing spectacular. I hope they make a season 2. It's a cool show.
