Peacock has set the voice cast for the adult animated series “In the Know,” Variety has learned exclusively.

As previously announced, Mike Judge and Zach Woods will star in the series. They will now be joined by J. Smith-Cameron (“Succession,” “Rectify”), Charlie Bushnell (“Diary of a Future President,” “Percy Jackson and The Olympians”), Carl Tart (“Grand Crew”), and Caitlin Reilly (“Loot,” “Hacks”). The show was originally picked up at the streamer in September in Peacock’s first adult animated series order.

Per the official logline, “Lauren Caspian (Woods) is NPR’s third most popular host. He’s a well-meaning, hypocritical nimrod, just like you and me. He’s also a stop motion puppet. Each episode follows the making of an episode of Lauren’s show ‘In the Know,’ in which Lauren conducts in-depth interviews with real world human guests. Lauren collaborates with a diverse crew of NPR staff. They are also puppets and nimrods.”
