After reaching a record-breaking $3.5M+ funding since its launch on Kickstarter, making it the platform’s biggest movie launch day of all time, Felicia Day’s The Guild: Ren Faire’d has added two new cast members to its minstrel players. Announced today, Misha Collins (Supernatural, Gotham Knights, The Boys) is officially joining the fold as is Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie, Superman), as revealed earlier this week.
“I’m thrilled to report that thanks to our incredible community, we’ve officially met Misha’s *cough* ‘demands,’ and he’s joining The Guild: Ren Faire’d alongside our dear friend Nathan Fillion,” said Felicia Day, creator of The Guild. “I’m so grateful and humbled by the response of our fans, and I can’t wait to give them the reunion movie they deserve, powered by an amazing cast. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Since its launch on July 20, the campaign has received support from more than 22,000 backers, surpassing its original goal by 133.3%. This achievement marks a major milestone for independently produced entertainment, ensuring the original “Knights of Good” return for a new, blockbuster-style feature-length adventure ahead of The Guild’s 20th anniversary in 2027.
Created, written by, and starring Day, The Guild: Ren Faire’d will reunite Codex (Felicia Day), Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), Vork (Jeff Lewis), Tink (Amy Okuda), Clara (Robin Thorsen), and Bladezz (Vincent Caso), continuing their story in the same independent, community-driven spirit that made the original series a defining part of online fandom and geek culture.
The Guild premiered on July 27, 2007, and followed the members of an online gaming guild whose virtual adventures frequently collided with their real lives. Supported in part by fan contributions, the series ran for six seasons and 70 episodes, plus three music videos, and generated more than 300 million lifetime views across platforms. Across its run, The Guild earned six Streamy Awards and four International Academy of Web Television Awards, appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of “The Net’s Best Serial Shows,” and was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution, which accessioned Codex’s costume into its digital culture collection.
