“Game of Thrones” star Maisie Williams has joined the cast of the new animated show gen:LOCK.

Produced by the Austin-based Rooster Teeth, gen:LOCK focuses on a diverse team of young pilots who have been recruited to control the next generation of giant, weaponized robot bodies known as “mecha.”

Williams will voice Cammie MacCloud, a mischievous Scottish hacker with boundless energy, and the youngest recruit to the gen:LOCK program.

She joins a voice cast that includes Michael B. Jordan (“Black Panther”), who plays the lead character, and David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) and Dakota Fanning (“The Alienist”).

The news was announced at the recent RTX London, the UK.edition of Rooster Teeth’s expo. Fans also got a look at a new, third teaser for the upcoming show.

“Working with Maisie is as fun as it gets,” said gen:LOCK showrunner Gray G. Haddock in a statement.

“Her energy and the sense of humour she brings to Cammie is an absolute delight. I’m running out of superlatives to describe how perfect this cast works for the characters, but Maisie truly sounds exactly like how Cammie does in my head — she’s brilliant.”

The show is the second anime-style series from Rooster Teeth Animation after “RWBY,” which has run to multiple seasons. Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Productions is co-producing with Rooster Teeth.
