Matt Lucas Joins Comedy Central’s Krod Mandoon

Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas has joined Sean Maguire in Comedy Central’s scripted series Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Firea, the network’s first foray into fantasy comedy. Rounding out the ensemble cast are India de Beaufort, Steve Speirs, Kevin Hart, John Rhys-Davies, James Murray and Marques Ray.

Krod is described as “equal parts workplace comedy and sword-and-sorcery fun.” The series follows reluctant hero Krod Mandoon (Maguire), who is the last great hope in the struggle against the evil Chancellor Dongalor (Lucas). To help him, Krod has assembled a band of ineffectual freedom fighters (de Beaufort, Speirs, Hart, Ray). Rhys-Davies plays a wizard who battles Krod.
