Stephen Colbert lends his voice
The main characters are young, around 16 years old. Their actors are already adults: the cadets are played by Zoë Steiner, Sandro Rosta, Karim Diané, Kerrice Brooks, and George Hawkins, among others—largely unknown names. Among the better-known actors is Holly Hunter, who practically plays a principal. Paul Giamatti is also set to make several guest appearances. In addition, Robert Picardo and Tig Notaro return in their roles as “The Doctor” and “Jett Reno.”
Producer CBS has also landed a star in the role of the disembodied digital dean who instructs cadets at the academy: talk show host Stephen Colbert is to voice him. CBS canceled his talk show in July. There will be no new episodes from May 2026.
