The Characters
Hansel
Voiced by: Andre Robinson
Hansel is brave, curious, and sometimes a little too quick to jump into action. As the older sibling, he often tries to protect Gretel—even when he’s not totally sure what they’re up against. Hansel wants to be a hero, but along the way, he learns that being brave also means knowing when to listen, think, and care. With his wooden sword and big heart, Hansel helps lead the way through their twisty, magical journey.
Gretel
Voiced by: Raini Rodriguez
Gretel is smart, strong, and fiercely independent. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind or challenge the world around her. Throughout their journey, Gretel grows into her own kind of hero—someone who values honesty, empathy, and strength in unexpected forms. Whether facing magical creatures or difficult choices, she always leads with her heart and her sharp thinking.
The Narrator
Voiced by: Scott Adsit
The Narrator is your hilarious, all-knowing guide through the world of A Tale Dark & Grimm. With a sharp wit, playful sarcasm, and a knack for breaking the fourth wall, he adds humor and insight to every twist and turn. More than just a storyteller, he becomes a character in his own right—cheering on Hansel and Gretel while keeping audiences laughing (and sometimes on edge).
The King
Voiced by: Tom Hollander
The King is Hansel and Gretel’s father — a proud, conflicted ruler who struggles with doing what’s right versus what’s expected. Though he loves his children deeply, his decisions set their dark and twisty tale into motion. As the kingdom falls deeper into trouble, so does his understanding of what it truly means to be a good parent and a wise king.
The Queen
Voiced by: Erica Rhodes
The Queen is nurturing and wise, always trying to protect her family even when things spiral into magical chaos. She’s one of the few people who truly believes in Gretel’s strength early on and provides an emotional foundation when the world around them becomes anything but stable.
Miss Baker
Voiced by: Missi Pyle
Miss Baker may look sweet and welcoming, but her oven hides more than just pastries. With a disturbing appetite and a too-friendly smile, she’s one of the first strange figures Hansel and Gretel encounter. She’s the show’s wink to the classic witch-in-the-woods tale, and she’s just as creepy as you'd hope.
The Warlock / The Handsome Young Man
Voiced by: Adam Lambert
A master of illusion and deception, the Warlock appears in the form of a charming young man to lure Gretel away. Behind the smile is a dark power fueled by manipulation and control. His encounter with Gretel tests her will, her sense of self, and ultimately shapes her path as a true hero in the face of magical evil.
