That’s exactly what’s set out in front of Frey when she learns that Athia is under the vicious thumb of its version of Wonderland’s Red Queen-powerful magicians known as Tantas, who are voiced by Janina Gavankar, Pollyanna McIntosh, Claudia Black, and Kendall Rae. These saviors usually have magical powers and have to save the day in order to return to their own reality. It’s also a template that owes a great deal to a Japanese form of fiction called an Isekai, which are typically fantasy or sci-fi tales in which someone gets transported to another world where he or she is the savior of this imaginary land. This time, Alice is Frey ( Ella Balinska of the recent Netflix “ Resident Evil” reboot), a New Yorker who has been getting into trouble in the Big Apple when she’s inexplicably transported to the magical world of Athia. “Forspoken” works from such an obvious “ Alice in Wonderland” template that it even drops in literal references to the classic fairy tale.
