From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bad Guys: The Series (formerly known as The Bad Guys: Breaking In in its first season), is an American animated crime comedy television series based on the 2022 film The Bad Guys, which in turn is based on the graphic novel series of the same name. Like the two television specials that came before, the series serves as a prequel to the original film. Michael Godere, Ezekiel Ajeigbe, Raul Ceballos, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Mallory Low all reprise their roles from the specials; none of the films' original cast return.
