AnimeMania June 30, 2023 Share June 30, 2023 (edited) Praise Petey is a 10 episode animated TV series airing two episodes each week starting on July 21, 2023 on Freeform at 10pm. The show follows Petey, a New York City “it” girl who has it all until her life comes crashing down around her. As luck would have it, a mysterious gift from her father gives her a new lease on life: She’s going to “lean into” modernizing his small-town cult called "New Utopia". Annie Murphy as Petra, a.k.a. Petey, once the girl who had everything, now she has to use her city smarts to revamp her father’s failing cult and be a better leader than he was, a much more laidback one — a nice one — a girl boss! Christine Baranski as White, Petey’s mother, a magazine editor, Manhattan society woman and a terrifying perfectionist who’s never eaten, tasted or seen ketchup. John Cho as Bandit, a potential love interest for Petey and a cult member since childhood whose mother was a high-ranking member. Amy Hill as Mae Mae, Bandit’s Southern mama oozing with Southern hospitality who happens to be the right-hand woman of a cult leader. Kiersey Clemons as Eliza, a bartender at the local bar and reluctant BFF to Petey, working at her new cult. Stephen Root as Petey’s father, a loving, charming, homespun, stone-cold cult leader with some pretty unique ideas about meditation, space, jumping up and down in a field, and how his bloodline is necessary for the salvation of mankind. He may or may not be dead. Eve Plumb as Big Judy Edited June 30, 2023 by AnimeMania Link to comment

incandescent August 11, 2023 Share August 11, 2023 The lack of traffic is not promising for renewal chances but I think this show is a blast. Annie Murphy's voice acting for this role is very reminiscent of her Alexis Rose voice, so that was already a win. Link to comment
