The epic saga of Po continues as he and his comrades try to stop the villainous weasels, Klaus and Veruca, from getting their claws on a set of powerful weapons scattered around the world. Jack Black and Rita Ora are back for Season 2 of Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight, which premieres on Netflix Jan. 12.

Jack Black

Until recently, Po was adored as a kung fu master and hero all over China, but some recent mishaps — like accidentally destroying a village and letting a pair of evil weasels get away with a magical gauntlet — have hurt his reputation. Hoping to make things right, he sets out to stop Klaus and Veruca from obtaining all four of the powerful Tianshang weapons and wreaking havoc on the world. Through it all, he stays positive with a little help from friends, family and, of course, good food.

Black has voiced Po throughout most of the Kung Fu Panda franchise, starting with the Oscar-nominated 2008 inaugural film. He received Golden Globe nominations for his leading roles in School of Rock and Bernie in 2003 and 2012, respectively. More recently, Black worked on Richard Linklater’s Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood. He’s also a Grammy-winning musician as half of the comedic rock duo Tenacious D.

Rita Ora

Blade is a fierce, sword-swinging warrior from England on a quest for vengeance against Klaus and Veruca. Her no-nonsense attitude initially clashes with Po’s carefree nature, but she comes to respect his fighting skills and appreciate his friendship.

Ora is a Kosovo-born British singer-songwriter whose acting credits include Twist, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, Southpaw and Fifty Shades of Grey.

James Hong

Po’s adoptive and overprotective father, Mr. Ping, looks out for him along their journey and ensures he’s eating well too. He may not be much of a fighter, but he’s a master noodle chef. Plus, Mr. Ping’s got a few tricks up his sleeve and some unexpected wisdom from his hidden past.

Hong has voiced Mr. Ping since the first Kung Fu Panda film in 2008 and was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2012 for his performance of the character in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Hong has appeared in numerous films, including Blade Runner, Big Trouble in Little China and Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Rahnuma Panthaky

Rukhmini is a cunning thief and con artist willing to help Po and his crew… for a price. While she may not have noble reasons for joining the fight, they’ll need her help to track down the rest of the Tianshang weapons, especially as the next leg of their journey takes them through her home turf in India.

Canadian actor Panthaky voiced Rukhmini in Season 1 of Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight. She’s also known for her roles in Teen Wolf, Modern Family and NCIS. 

Della Saba

Hell-bent on world domination, Veruca tramples over anyone who stands in her way of getting the Tianshang weapons. With the earth-shattering Wugao gauntlet in hand and her magical control over plants, she’s a dangerous foe.

Saba also voiced Veruca in Season 1. She recently appeared in the comedy series Physical and has voiced characters in Ralph Breaks the Internet and Zootopia.
