A YouTube Red Original film produced by Fullscreen Films and Rooster Teeth, Lazer Team 2 features returning cast members Colton Dunn (NBC’s Superstore), Burnie Burns (Rooster Teeth co-founder), Gavin Free (“The Slow Mo Guys”), and Michael Jones (RWBY) who will be joined by some exciting new faces, including Nichole Bloom, also from NBC’s Superstore, and Victoria Pratt from Heartland and Mutant X.

After Woody (Gavin Free) goes missing working on secret, alien research, scientist Maggie Wittington (Nichole Bloom) must recruit the former members of Lazer Team (Burnie Burns, Colton Dunn, Michael Jones) to join her in rescuing their lost friend. It’s up to Maggie to bring the Lazer Team back together and rescue Woody.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with KAOS Connect and Gunpowder & Sky to bring this fan favorite, internet based franchise to the big screen,” said Darryl Schaffer, Executive Vice President of Operations and Exhibitor Relations at Screenvision Media. “Lazer Team has a devoted global following and we can’t wait for fans to experience the sequel in a way they’ve never seen it before.”
