Now, Season 1 didn't have any big names, apart from those of the showrunners. But this season has a familiar face i.e. Michael B. Jordan. So, while talking about the short he's in and how he got involved, Miller said,

"I’d met Michael a few times and knew he was a huge animation fan. So when we decided to do Life Hutch I thought of him. When I pitched him on the story, he immediately said 'Put me in coach!' And we were thinking about a live action/CG process that we thought would play to Michael’s strengths."
