Emilia Clarke to star in The Twits

Credits: Netflix

The movie, helmed by Phil Johnston, tells the tale of the despicable Mr. and Mrs. Twit, owners of the repulsive and dangerous amusement park, Twitlandia. Two courageous children, accompanied by a family of magical creatures, must outwit them to save their town.

Though Clarke is listed as a cast member, we do not know which character she will be voicing. Phil Johnston and Meg Favreau wrote the script for The Twits, which Katie Shanahan and Todd Kunjan Demong directed. A team led by Phil Johnston, Maggie Malone, and Daisy May West is producing the movie.

This news about The Twits was shared during an event called “Next on Netflix: Animation,” where Netflix showcased what animated content is coming soon. Many watch Netflix for cartoons, with over 130 million households tuning in monthly.
