Let's start with the Voltron Legendary Defender Season 2 Preview Panel! We saw Episode 2 of Season 2, "The Depths", in which Lance and Hunk fall into an adventure on an underwater world, full of Mermaids, and Weird Al Yankovic appears as a guest star.

We found out that Season 2 will debut on January 20, 2017. And Voltron Toys from Playmates Toys will be available starting in January of 2017. We also found out from Jeremy Shada that Lance is Cuban!

After the panel. we interviewed the cast and crew, including Executive Producers Joaqim Dos Santos & Lauren Montgomery, Head Writer Tim Hedrick, Bex Taylor-Klaus, who plays Pidge, and Jeremy Shada, who plays Lance.

We had to book over to Be Electric Studios in Brooklyn, NY to be able to setup our podcast table at the Voltron Collective Party, where we got interviews with the following people:
