When asked about the hire, the head of Rooster Teeth Animation and gen:LOCK showrunner Gray G. Haddock could barely contain his excitement with Williams joining the talented and packed cast:
“Working with Maisie is as fun as it gets. Her energy and the sense of humor she brings to Cammie is an absolute delight. I’m running out of superlatives to describe how perfect the cast works for the characters, but Maisie truly sounds exactly like how Cammie does in my head – she’s brilliant.”
The addition of Williams is the just the latest major coup for the series, which set the bar high right in the beginning when it confirmed that Michael B. Jordan’s company was not only co-producing the series, but he would also be lending his acting talents in the series as well. Now with Williams also confirmed, fans only question is, when it will be released.
gen:LOCK is currently scheduled for a January 2019 release on Rooster Teeth. The synopsis for the show is as follows:
“In gen:LOCK, Earth’s last free society is on the losing side of a global war, and recruits a diverse team of young pilots to control the next generation of mecha—giant, weaponized robot bodies. These daring recruits will find, however, that their newfound abilities come at no small cost. As Chase leaves behind his life as a fighter pilot to become the first candidate for the program, he finds his endurance, as well as his very identity, will be tested beyond anything he ever imagined.”
