A teaser video premiered, revealing a storyline where a rebellious teen named Duckie rekindles the superhero's flame after he has been absent from the public eye for decades. The official synopsis describes the dynamic between Darkwing Duck, voiced by Hamill, and Launchpad McQuack, played by Seth Rogen, as they face old foes and team up with old allies like Gosalyn, Glade, Morgana, and Firecracker to save the universe. The voice cast also features a diverse group of talented actors, including Lizzy Caplan, Dan Stevens, Tiffany Shepis, Kathryn Newton, Teo Briones, Tyler Dean Flores, Katie Rich, and Nat Faxon. Executive producers Sean Tretta and Borja Peña Gorostegui from Point Grey Pictures, alongside series creator Tad Stones, are enthusiastic about the new direction, aiming to capture the spirit of classic heroes like Robin Hood, Zorro, and Sherlock Holmes. The original Darkwing Duck series aired on the Disney Channel and later expanded to ABC and syndication.",
