While we weren’t looking the Kung Fu Panda franchise has blown up.

Three movies, four short films, and this marks the third animated series. There’s been five video games, a TV holiday special, and even a stage play.

Good on Rita Ora to jump into this thriving and still-growing franchise. I should catch up and see what Po and his friends have been getting into.

Rita Ora and James Hong have joined the voice cast of Netflix’s Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight. The upcoming animated series features Jack Black in his original film role of Po the Panda.

When a mysterious pair of weasels set their sights on a collection of four powerful weapons, Po (Black) must leave his home to embark on a globe-trotting quest for redemption and justice that finds him partnered up with a no-nonsense English knight named Wandering Blade. Together, these two mismatched warriors set out on an epic adventure to find the magical weapons first and save the world from destruction — and they may even learn a thing or two from each other along the way.

Ora will make her first major voice acting debut as Wandering Blade, a tough English bear knight that joins Po on his globe-trotting adventure.

Hong reprises Mr. Ping, Po’s adoptive, over-protective father is always filled with pride for his boy. The Everything Everywhere All At Once actor previously voiced the goose for the original Kung Fu Panda films.
