He befriends Zozo the clown and Rosy the teddy bear to help reunite with his best friend Billy. Netflix’s Lost Ollie will be executive produced by Stranger Things producers Shawn Levy, Emily Morris, and Josh Barry with 21 Laps Entertainment and Oscar-winning designer Brandon Oldenbrook.

Jonathan Groff ( Hamilton, Frozen), Mary J. Blige ( Power Book II: Ghost) and Tim Blake Nelson ( Watchmen) will lead the voice cast. Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: Rosy is at first shown to be very cold and harsh towards Ollie and Zozo, but eventually warms up to the former and even helps him try to escape Zozo after the latter snaps.Adoption Diss: In Episode 1, Billy's school bully, Mike, twists him arm while trying to make him admit Momma wasn't his "real" mom. Billy refused to because he loved her so much. Nice Mean And In Between: Ollie is the nice, loving and caring for everyone, even his enemies. At first Rosy seems to be mean, being sarcastic and aloof towards Ollie and Zozo seems in between, being a bit gruff but very helpful towards Ollie. However, Rosy shows a softer side later and wants to help Ollie, while Zozo is ruthless and is revealed to kill other innocent toys. Goldberg, Lesley (March 9, 2021).

Lost Ollie is set to hit Netflix in August 2022 and is a hybrid of live-action/animated limited series and one of our most anticipated releases for the entirety of 2022. Here’s an updated guide to everything you need to know about Lost Ollie, which hits Netflix globally on August 24th, 2022.Throughout it all, though, Ollie searches for his boy Billy, because he loves Billy and he knows Billy loves him. Ollie’s quest is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. The show might tread on familiar territory in the setup, but by the end it’s so evocative that any overdone tropes feel fresh, like they’ve just hit for the first time. Lost Ollie captures the feeling of confiding in a favorite toy, through the highs and lows of childhood. And just like the Skin Horse told the Velveteen Rabbit, sometimes it does hurt — becoming real, growing up, being loved. But it is worth it, and Lost Ollie manages to show that there is both joy and sorrow in everything. Sentimental Homemade Toy: Billy's mother made Ollie the stuffed rabbit for him when he was just a baby. Billy is shown to be very close to his mom, as such, and his friendship with Ollie remains for years to come. Ollie also become a Tragic Keepsake for Billy after his mother dies from an illness, at least until he abandons Ollie in an attempt to look mature. Asatryan, Tigran (March 23, 2021).
