DreamWorks Animation Television just dropped a trailer and a date for The Bad Guys: Breaking In, a prequel series headed to Netflix. Timing-wise, it arrives right on the heels of the sequel movie hitting theaters and pulling a Certified Fresh 88% on Rotten Tomatoes (that score is based on 106 reviews), so the brand is definitely hot right now.
Release date and where to watch
The Bad Guys: Breaking In premieres November 6, 2025, on Netflix. Yes, it is a prequel — think origin stories for the crew before they got their capital-B 'Bad' reputation.
Who is voicing who
- Michael Godere as Wolf
- Ezekiel Ajeigbe as Shark
- Raul Ceballos as Piranha
- Chris Diamantopoulos as Snake
- Mallory Low as Tarantula
- Patton Oswalt as Mr. Wigglesworth
- Kate Mulgrew as Serpentina
- Zehra Fazal as Tiffany Fluffit
What it is about
'Before everyone's favorite felons became The Bad Guys, they were just some bad guys trying to earn their fearsome reputation.'
That's the official setup. The show follows Wolf pushing the team to climb 6 News Nightly's Worst of the Worst List by pulling off bigger, flashier heists. The catch: these would-be legends are hilariously not great at being bad yet. So expect a lot of early-days chaos as they try to turn petty crook energy into franchise-level infamy.
Behind the scenes
Bret Haaland and Katherine Nolfi are executive producing. The series is based on Aaron Blabey's New York Times best-selling books. Fun milestone for the franchise: this is its first full-length series after two Netflix specials in 2023 (holiday) and 2024 (Halloween). The new trailer is out now if you want a peek at the vibe before November.
