‘The Wingfeather Saga’ Season 3 Adds David Oyelowo, Tantoo Cardinal & Henry Witcher to Cast

Crowdfunding-backed studio/distribution platform Angel  and Nashville-based animation studio Shining Isle Productions today announced the cast expansion for The Wingfeather Saga Season 3: The Ice Prairies, arriving on November 12. The studio partners also revealed plans to release a supercut feature version of the Saga on October 29.

Joining the cast are David Oyelowo (Selma, Silo), Tantoo Cardinal (Killers of the Flower Moon, Dances with Wolves) and Henry Witcher (The Wild Robot), who will be featured alongside returning stars Jodi Benson, Kevin McNally, Alkaio Thiele and Matthew Rhys, amongst others.

“I have been a fan of David’s work for many years and we are thrilled to have him join Wingfeather. And we have a very special new character that Tantoo is voicing, whom we cannot wait to introduce to our fans. Each of these exceptional performers brings incredible depth, emotion, and authenticity to their roles,” said J. Chris Wall, series executive Producer and showrunner. “Their voices help bring the Ice Prairies of Season 3 to life with beauty and power, and we could not be more excited to share their work with audiences around the world.”

Season 3 propels audiences deeper into the world of Aerwiar as the Wingfeather family faces its greatest trials yet. Separated from his family, Janner journeys with his friend Maraly across the perilous Stony Mountains toward the frozen Ice Prairies, pursued by monsters and things best left in the shadows.

Beneath the tundra lies the fabled city of Kimera, a place of both hope and danger, while Kalmar, betrayed and captured, endures imprisonment in the dungeons of the Phoob Islands. Across these frozen frontiers, the family’s courage and loyalty will be tested as a new evil rises.

Also coming exclusively to the Angel platforms is The Wingfeather Saga: The Journey Begins supercut, which reimagines the first two seasons as one contiguous cinematic adventure, leading into Season 3: The Ice Prairies: In the vast and perilous world of Aerwiar, the Wingfeather family uncovers a secret that changes their world forever. The Journey Begins launches on October 29, exclusively on the Angel platforms.

Based on Andrew Peterson’s bestselling fantasy novels, The Wingfeather Saga is one of the largest crowdfunded family animated series ever produced, with more than $7 million raised from fans.
