There’s just a lot more for Hank to complain about,” Judge shared with Vulture in an interview in May. Another voice cast member, Jonathan Joss (“Tulsa King”), passed away after production for the new season wrapped, his performance as John Redcorn already recorded.

All 10 new episodes will be available to stream on premiere day.
