The Boss Baby is coming back on 1 September in a new DreamWorks Animation and Netflix special The Boss Baby: Get That Baby!. Rather than just a viewing experience, the new feature is interactive, described as a “chewpie-triggered simulation exercise,” where kids can participate in a series of missions that will test their decision making abilities as they move through the ranks of Boss Baby’s professional network, all the way from “Mail Room Baby” to, you guessed it, Boss.
In the special, Boss Baby and his big brother Tim head to Baby Corp headquarters to deal with an arch nemesis where Boss Baby has to make all sorts of choices to “defeat villains like Bootsy Calico, Happy Sedengry and Fredrick Estes”.
The feature is executive produced by Emmy Award winner Brandon Sawyer (The Penguins of Madagascar). The voice cast includes JP Karliak (Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production) as Boss Baby, Pierce Gagnon (Looper) as Tim, Kevin Michael Richardson (All Hail King Julien) as Jimbo, Alex Cazares (The Casagrandes) as Staci, Diedrich Bater (Veep) as Junior Fancy, Rhys Darby (Jumanji 2) as Happy Sedengry, Wendie Malicak (Hot in Cleveland) as Wendy McCracken, Jake Green (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) as Bootsy Calico and Victor Raider Wexler (Trollhunters) as Frederick Estes.
Netflix suggests joining the story on a newer device, including smart TVs, streaming media players, game consoles, computer browsers, Android phones and tablets, iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches and ensuring that the device is running the latest version of the Netflix app.
