According to Deadline, the second installment of the Gremlins animated series has added Simu Liu (Barbie, Kim’s Convenience) to their lineup. Liu is joining Gremlins: The Wild Batch, formally known as Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai on Max.
As per Deadline, Liu will be taking on the role of Chang, a handsome, charming bootlegger who also happens to be the son of one of San Francisco Chinatown’s most powerful and influential families.
