Our Review
The Hollow (2018) is a action and children series from Netflix. It has built a run of 20 episodes at roughly 24 minutes each. It premiered on June 8, 2018. Viewers rate it 6.9 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What The Hollow Is About
Perplexing mystery awaits viewers in the new animated-action series, The Hollow, a Slap Happy Cartoons Inc. production. The series opens with three teens, Adam, Kai and Mira, as they awake confused and alone in an underground bunker. Wandering through a maze of bizarre towns, odd time portals, dangerous beasts and quirky characters, the three strangers are forced to band together as they search for a way back home. Members around the world can look forward to thrills and intrigue when The Hollow debuts exclusively on Netflix in 2018.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 24 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 20 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its action/children roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Ashleigh Ball, Lana Jalissa and Harrison Houde to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Ashleigh Ball, Lana Jalissa, Harrison Houde, Connor Parnall, Adrian Petriw and Peter Bundic lead the cast.
Key roles include Ashleigh Ball as Mira; Lana Jalissa as Mira; Harrison Houde as Kai; Connor Parnall as Kai; Adrian Petriw as Adam.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action and children have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 6.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2018 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and children viewers.
How The Hollow Compares
If The Hollow lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/children lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream

On the whole The Hollow is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Ashleigh Ball and Lana Jalissa doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/children roots, It has held up since 2018 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Hollow is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and children lane, at 20 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.9/10. Watch it if you want action/children you can settle into.
