A new season of Weird Kids is coming May 5th, featuring Ashley Johnson and Taliesin Jaffe strange stories of growing up in Hollywood:
Critical Role, a leader in innovative storytelling, today announced the continuation of Weird Kids, the original video podcast series starring Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us, Blindspot) and Taliesin Jaffe (Hellsing, The Legend of Vox Machina). Following the debut of the new trailer today, the new season premieres May 5 exclusively on Beacon.tv, with 24 new hour-long episodes rolling out every Tuesday.
In Weird Kids, Johnson and Jaffe continue their deep dive into the strange, nostalgic, and deeply personal stories that come with growing up as former child actors in Hollywood. From classic toys and underground haunts to offbeat anecdotes and unexpected adventures, these episodes expand the world ofWeird Kidswhile keeping the same candid chemistry, humor, and heart that make the series such a singular hang.
“Coming back for more episodes of Weird Kids feels a little like reopening the strangest scrapbook imaginable,” said Johnson. “We get to talk about the people, places, and moments that shaped us, and somehow it’s equal parts hilarious, surreal, and weirdly healing. I’m so excited to invite people back into our little world.”
Across the new season, the pair explore even more of the oddities, obsessions, places, and memories that shaped them, inviting fellow misfits, outcasts, and weirdos along for the ride. Whether they’re revisiting the bizarre realities of growing up on set or celebrating the things that still make them wonderfully weird, Johnson and Jaffe continue to turn their pasts into conversations that are as hilarious as they are heartfelt.
“There is something deeply satisfying about taking all the wonderfully strange debris left behind by childhood and turning it into conversation,” said Jaffe. “This lets us dig even deeper into the beautiful absurdity of growing up weird, growing up in Hollywood, and somehow surviving with our sense of humor intact.”
New episodes of Weird Kids begin streaming May 5, exclusively on Beacon.tv.
