Germany’s Studio 100 Film, Australia’s POP Family Entertainment, and Ireland’s Telegael have announced the voice cast for upcoming animated comedy feature Being Betty Flood. Headlining the cast as Betty Flood is Evanna Lynch, best known for her role as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter film series. She is supported by Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings trilogy) as Aneska Flood, and Richard Roxburgh (Elvis) as Murkhart. They are joined by Charlotte Friels (After the Verdict) as Misha, Ed Byrne as Winchflat, Ardal O’Hanlon as Nerlin, Neil Delamere as Staniel, Semisi Cheekham as Nat, Erin Choy as Abi, as well as Sarah Aubrey, who voices various characters.

Adapted and written by Harry Cripps and Cleon Prineas, Being Betty Flood is based on the 13-book series The Floods, which was written and illustrated by award-winning Australian author Colin Thompson.
The 87-minute feature film, targeted at 8- to 14-year-olds and set for delivery in Autumn 2023, introduces Betty, a headstrong yet smart 12-year-old girl torn between her overprotective mother and her desire to prove her magical and musical abilities. As she navigates the challenges of growing up and finding her place in the world, her relationships with her family and friends echo the experiences of young girls all over the world in this universal movie full of magic and mayhem.
The film is an Official Treaty Co-Production between Australia and Ireland, which allows the film to be marketed with full European status. Studio 100 Film will be responsible for the worldwide distribution.
