“She’s so well-rounded - intelligent, wry, fun and I absolutely adore her. “We don’t see characters like Koki that often, which is why it’s such a pleasure to voice her,” Rock adds. Rock, whose past TV credits include Nikita and Black Mirror, describes Koki as a once-in-a-lifetime role. I also love that she’s a skilled mechanic and tech expert and believe she serves as an important role model for young people of color, especially girls, interested in those things.”

“It’s been so wonderful to join the Wild Kratts team as Koki,” she exclaims. Rock says she appreciates the opportunity. “I support PBS Kids, TVO, and Brown Bag Films in this step towards equality, inclusion, and lasting change.” “While I do miss working on this award-winning show, I am pleased to know that there is a greater sense of authenticity in the presentation of Koki,” Bambrick states. Bambrick, in turn, says she understands the need for bona fide depictions. Ayo Edebiri replaced Jenny Slate as the voice of Missy on Big Mouth, and Emmy Raver-Lampman took over the Molly role from Kristen Bell on Central Park.Īlthough fans didn’t hear Rock voice Koki until last month, Wild Kratts producers say they officially made the casting switch in September of 2020.

Other animated shows such as Netflix’s Big Mouth and Apple TV+’s Central Park have recast Black and mixed-race characters in light of the industry’s push for more culturally and racially accurate portrayals. “We strive to present all children with positive role models, who reflect their natural curiosity, resilience and empathy - beginning with the important step of ensuring that they see themselves reflected authentically in our content.”
