Netflix is using an AI-generated Gene Wilder voice in its Willy Wonka reality show
Deadline reports that Netflix worked with AI audio company ElevenLabs with consent from Wilder’s family, after working on productions recreating the voice of Michael Caine and Stan Lee. It also continues Netflix’s 2021 partnership with the Roald Dahl company, and is separate from the Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory animated feature that will arrive in 2027.
As for the show itself, Netflix says its “high-stakes social experiment” will feature 12 “lucky” golden ticket winners plus their chosen partner in the competition, with one champion left standing a week later during the two-part finale on September 30th.
