Monáe’s role is also quite special in the show.

Janelle Monáe lends her voice to Glory Reeves. And she also contributed to the opening tune, ‘Sand’ for the series. As reported by What's on Netflix, Brian Tyree Henry has also opened up about how he had always wanted to work with Monáe, and that led to their collaboration in Bass X Machina.

“And we’ve been trying to figure out a way to work together, and her wonderful team at Wonderland—Roman GianArthur and Nate Wonder—I don’t think you understand. We are all fans of animation and anime,” Henry said.

He further spoke about going all out for the punk-rock Western series and working as both an executive producer and a voice actor. The series is all set to be released on November 3, 2026. And all the episodes expected to drop at once for fans to binge-watch.
