Adam Lambert Stars As "The Devil" In New Netflix Animated Series, A Tale Dark & Grimm

Netflix just announced that Adam Lambert will co-star in its new animated series, A Tale Dark & Grimm, based on a 2010 children's book by author Adam Gidwitz. The story takes on the classic Hansel & Gretel tale and creates new adventures, bringing the famous brother & sister characters through many of The Brothers Grimm's other stories. According to a tweet from author Gidwitz, the series will premiere in October.
The production was initiated by actor David Henrie, noted for playing Ted Mosby's future son Luke on How I Met Your Mother and Justin Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. He will also serve as executive producer of the series as well as write for and act in the show.
Henrie confirmed in a comment on a post on his Instagram account that Adam will be playing the role of The Devil, which is the character on the far left of the promo graphic above.
Also appearing in the cast with Adam are, perhaps by coincidence, Tom Hollander, who played Queen’s lawyer-turned-manager Jim Beach in Bohemian Rhapsody and has appeared in numerous other films, in addition to well-known character actor Jonathan Banks and 30 Rock's Scott Adsit.
Here are two videos, the first created by y0116jp of Adam's IG story announcing this news, which includes a long tweet from David Henrie about the project. The IG story has some other miscellaneous items that Adam included, as well. The second video, created by Gelly, has some of the same clips as in the first one but with a few more items that she collected from social media.
Tweets to/from the original book's author Gidwitz on Adam's performance in the show:

This series looks like a real treat! When the author of the books says Adam is amazingly good, then I'm very excited! The whole premise of it sounds very clever and a bit dark. Perfect for Adam! I hope the series does well!
Yes, very exciting, Dee! While Adam has yet to find his big role on stage & screen, he is making a killing voicing animated characters! Who woulda thunk!
Some brilliant producer or director or studio exec would do themselves well by having Adam sing the theme song of a movie. Hm ... hello, Barbara Broccoli and the next James Bond movie?
BTW, I just made a few minor additions to the post, if you wanna go back and take another look.
I have been praying for a long time that Adam will get to sing a major movie theme. He's perfect for it. Those Bond movies are so huge at the box office. To hear his voice from the start would be ecstasy! Many "lesser" singers have done it. But it doesn't have to a Bond film. Any good film with a great song would be perfect for him. He did do Time For Miracles for that 2012 movie. It was a very good song and he nailed it.
Can't wair to hear Adam voice as The Devil!
Ditto, Broddy and Dee R Gee. Also, I think Adam would make a delightfully erotic (and exotic) Vampire prince. I'll bet he'd love to play that part in a movie....in person...in period costume! And if it was in a musical....that would be absolute heaven!
Oh my! How greedy we Glamberts are for Adam! OUR "bucket lists" for him are probably bigger than his!
Love tweet shown above to David Henrie from the Adam fan about army of Glamberts who will be watching the new series. I know I will.
There will be at some point the perfect live action movie role for Adam that will give him a real chance to act. There has to be! He's got untapped talent just waiting for the chance. These animated roles are a great way to let the producers, directors, etc. realize that Adam has great potential. A vampire prince sounds great to me! Period costume and all.
And there's a great new Creativesharka pic out there of Adam as a very delectable devil!!!

Love it! Shark is a real genius! And the Devil wears Gucci, for sure!
Adam is in NYC at a Pride party event. Lots of big names there! Some vids are floating around. He looks fabulous, of course!

OT, but interesting: On the recommendation of my son, I went to see the documentary, "The Sparks Brothers." It's about a two brother who wrote and performed music off and on from the seventies to the present. What a crazy ride! I had never heard of them, but they worked with a lot of well-known people. They were always just below the radar of stardom, but they kept at it. I thought a lot about Adam during the film and how his career has progressed so far.
I highly recommended this doc! I think the film in being considered for a documentary award or two. Hope so!

Mi Re La, thanks for the links, but the first one says unavailable and the second one goes to a dermatology site. ????
I am excited to hear that Adam will be performing in NYC, though! Yay!
Mi Re La ...I can't/don't get instagram, so your first link wasn't available to me....but the second one (on scrolling down) does discuss a streaming musical program presented by "Pride in Dermatology"...with Boy George and Melissa Etheridge (and others) as guests....but no mention of Adam Lambert. Maybe he was added to the guest list after this announcement?
Oops! I didn't scroll down so I didn't see the names. Thanks, Nanbert. I imagine Adam got on the guest list afterwards.
Glamily I just RSVP ‘d my place for that event Mi Re La posted. Where Adam will perform. Anyone else? I got the link from Twitter. All I did was put my name and email and that’s it. 24 hours before I’ll receive a link to this. Anyone can watch this, Broddy or Glitzylady will post the info and link I’m sure.

JUST JARED / Emily Ratajkowski & Adam Lambert Join Tons of Stars for NYC Pride Weekend Kick-Off Party!

Sunflower I'm going to give it a try instead of just assuming I can't do it.
Thanx for the JJ link. As always, Glamberts, click on these articles about Adam, especially if he's in the headline.
@Sunflower. Last evening I went for a walk, the clouds rolled in and the rain started while I was still 10 minutes from home. I saw a funnel cloud and wondered why the warning sirens weren't going off to warn us. Then the sirens went off. 2 minutes before my house it all stopped. I got plenty wet, not soaked but needed dry clothes.
Whoa! Patria! Sunflower! Take care you don't get blown away!
Do you two live in the same area?
I'm 10 miles north of Des Moines Iowa. Sunflower, you're in the midwest too, aren't you? I'm sending her my weather.
Patria, I’m in the Midwest too. I live in the Northwest part of Indiana, closer to the Illinois border than my capital of Indianapolis, which is exactly 2 1/2 hours from me. I’m terrible in calculating miles so I say the hours or minutes. Haha. So it was you who sent those dark clouds? Lol. Earlier when I was here at 24/7 there were dark clouds that I had to turn on a lamp because my house got dark. A Tornado did touch ground at a neighboring city (about 20 minutes away from my house) but thank God it did’nt pass through my city. It’s calm right now but boy that rain we had earlier really was heavy. We’re still going to have more rainy days up to Thursday. I need to cut my front and back lawn too, but it’s been also hot so waiting for the right time.
Oops Nanbert, hahaha no I didn’t get blown away. Like Patria I live in the Midwest but in the state of Indiana. :)
Sunflower and Patria....Then, I think you both live in what is known as "Tornado Alley"....am I right?
Yes we are in Tornado Alley. Ugh
Sunflower, I thought you were the one who mentioned Indiana before. So You, Adam and Pete are Hoosiers.
Just signed up for the performance!
Dee R, Gee, Great you’re in!
Patria yes we are called Hoosiers. The Jackson’s (Michael and Janet and the rest of the family) are also Hoosiers. Tito and Randy Jackson were back home in Gary for a Grand Opening of The Hard Rock Cafe Casino, I wonder if Adam would perform there? I have a few stories about the Jackson’s but that’s for another time. Betsy Palmer too, remember her? There are others from Indiana but this blog is about Adam. One thing tho, “POPCORN “ is Indiana’s State Snack. :))
Sunflower, I live in a western suburb of Chicago, so we're almost neighbors!
Dee R Gee that’s right. :))
