Crunchyroll Dates RWBY: Ice Queendom English Dub With Original RWBY Cast

Crunchyroll has announced a September 25th start date for the English dubbed adaptation of RWBY: Ice Queendom. The entirety of the original RWBY cast is on board but Billy Kametz was originally cast as Roman Torchwick in the English dub of the anime, but was later recast by Christopher Wehkamp after his 2022 hiatus and death

It is produced by Shaft and directed by Toshimasa Suzuki, with chief direction by Kenjirou Okada, animation concept by Gen Urobuchi, scripts written by Tow Ubukata, and music composed by Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi. Nobuhiro Sugiyama designed the characters for animation, based on character concepts by illustrator Huke. There was an incident involving Tow Ubukata and Arryn Zech where the latter was a bit uneasy about reprising her role as “Bella” due to unresolved domestic assault allegations made against Tow from his ex-wife, so Arryn will be donating her payment to a domestic abuse charity.

Twelve episodes of RWBY: Ice Queendom are on the way and it features Lindsay Jones as Ruby Rose, Kara Eberle as Weiss Schnee, Arryn Zech as Blake Belladonna, Barbara Dunkelman as Yang Xiao Long, Miles Luna as Jaune Arc, Samantha Ireland as Nora Valkyrie, Jen Brown as Pyrrha Nikos, and Neath Oum as Lie Ren.
