‘Big Hero 6’ series cast reunites ahead of finale

BIG HERO 6 THE SERIES – “Krei-oke Night / The Mascot Upshot” (Disney) WASABI, FRED, HIRO, AUNT CASS, BAYMAX, MINI MAX, HONEY LEMON, GO GO

Disney XD’s Big Hero 6: The Series will not be returning for a fourth season. The Emmy-nominated spinoff to the Big Hero 6 movie will conclude with a two-part series finale episode airing 15 February.

The series finale consists of the music-filled episode Krei-oke Night, where Krei enlists Big Hero 6 to help launch his latest invention, a karaoke machine. In The Mascot Upshot, the mascots decide to add a new member to their family, which Hiro sees as an opportunity to defeat them once and for all.

In celebration of the series, the cast – Ryan Potter (Hiro), Scott Adsit (Baymas), Jamie Chung (Go GO), Genesis Rodriguez (Honey Lemon), Khary Payton (Wasabi), and Brooks Wheelan (Fred) – gathered virtually to talk about their characters and share their favourite memories from the show.
The voice cast also includes Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass.

The decision to end the series comes after last year’s announcement of a new Big Hero 6 spinoff series in the works at Disney+. It is slated for a 2022 premiere.
