The eighth and final season of DreamWorks Animation and Studio Mir's Voltron: Legendary Defender is out now on Netflix.
Untagged spoilers for Season 8 discussion are allowed.
The team:
Shiro: Captured by the Galra while on a mission, Shiro was experimented upon before escaping back to Earth. He returned with a weaponized robotic arm and vital information to lead the team against his former captors. Calm, thoughtful and wise beyond his years, it takes more than a fleet of Galra cruisers to get a rise out of Shiro. Voiced by Josh Keaton.
Keith: Orphaned at a young age before enlisting in the Galaxy Garrison, Keith is somewhat of a lone wolf considered to be the most talented pilot of his generation. He refuses to live by other people's rules, instead choosing to carve out his own path. Voiced by Steven Yeun.
Pidge: Pidge originally joined the team to search the galaxy for missing family members, but then came to understand the larger goal of conquering Zarkon and liberating the universe. Pidge loves and understands all things tech and often finds it easier to talk to gadgets than other humans. Voiced by Bex Taylor-Klaus.
Lance: Lance is all about having fun, even a million miles away from Earth's comforts and distractions. Full of confidence and even more full of himself, Lance thinks he's everyone's best friend, especially if they're cute and female. While his cockiness often gets the better of him, it comes in handy during firefights against bigger and better opponents. Voiced by Jeremy Shada.
Hunk: Hunk is the team's mechanic and he's a naturally good-hearted guy who is quick to laugh at himself. He's got a goofy sense of humor and hates and tension within the group, almost as much as his stomach hates flying. Gastrointestinal issues aside, Hunk is the team's foodie and he's constantly assessing alien vegetables to gauge their value in his recipes. Voiced by Tyler Labine.
Princess Allura: Often all business, Princess Allura is a whip-smart alien princess. Allura is the daughter of King Alfor, the original creator of Voltron. Allura has emerged from a 10,000 year cryogenic sleep to guide the team to defeat Zarkon. Often feeling the weight of the universe on her shoulders, she feels personally responsible for the success or failure of the new paladins of Voltron. Voiced by Kimberly Brooks.
Coran: Coran is Allura's royal advisor, entrusted to accompany here and keep her safe. He maintains a treasure trove of knowledge under his brain, but like a storage unit that's been flooded and pushed over a cliff, it takes a little while to find the pertinent information. Voiced by Rhys Darby.
The Galra Empire:
Emperor Zarkon: Emperor Zarkon is the ruthless leader of the Galra Empire. 10,000 years ago, Zarkon fought to steal the Voltron lions from King Alfor. Ever since Alfor sent the lions to the far corners of the universe, Zarkon has been on a quest to obtain Voltron once and for all. Voiced by Neil Kaplan.
Witch Haggar: Haggar is an ageless, psychic witch and a loyal advisor to Zarkon. Over the years she has formed a coven of druids, her own order of followers to do her bidding and aid her evil plans. Together they create the robeasts to battle Voltron. Voiced by Cree Summer.
Prince Lotor: Prince Lotor is a skilled an cunning warrior who will stop at nothing to capture Voltron and prove to his father, Emperor Zarkon, that he is a worthy heir to the throne. Lotor's sense of sportsmanship is atypical among the Galra, and puts him at odds with some of Zarkon's followers. Voiced by A.J. Locascio.
