Major Characters

 * Thomas the Tank Engine: Tom Holland, Corey Burton/Ringo Starr (as a narrator) - TBA. He is now more mature, like how he was portrayed in Seasons 3-5 on the original television series.
 * Emily the Stirling Single: Karen Gillan - The series' female protagonist. A kind, helpful and compassionate engine, who acts as a sisterly figure to others. She works in a branch line at Ffarquhar alongside Percy (who sees her as his mother figure similarly to Edward and Thomas' father-son relationship), Toby and Thomas, as she's a bit lighter than other tender engines and the latter's duty as her guardian.
 * Percy the Small Engine: Roman Griffin Davis - TBA. Has his original head-strong and cheeky, yet naive personality from the books and classic series.
 * Edward the Blue Engine: Jim Broadbent - TBA. He was chosen as one of the major protagonists alongside the former three, because of his role in the Railway Series books.

 * Gordon the Big Engine: Hugh Laurie -
 * Henry the Green Engine: Asa Butterfield -

 * Rosie the Lavender Engine: Chloe Grace Moretz - A lively little tank engine and station pilot of the Main Line. She had a rivalry with Emily over Thomas' affection in a pilot episode, though after she helped him rescue her, they became firm friends and she established a brother-sister relationship with him.
 * Molly the Yellow Engine: Nicola Stapleton - A female tender engine, who is the newest member and shy/sensitive, getting easily embarrased or upset by conflict and sometimes feeling afraid of her own strength. She developed feelings with James after he helped her with empty trucks when Gordon laughed at her.
 * Diesel: Andy Serkis (main villain; only appears in some episodes such as one adapting Duck and the Diesel Engine) - The steam engines' arch-enemy since the events of World War II, who seeks vengeance towards them since he was sent away, making himself the dreaded enemy to Thomas and Duck. He was overhauled to work with his fellow diesel shunters in the Mainland.

Minor Characters

They were sent away from the island of Sodor by the Fat Director after a former has bullied Emily into becoming bossy alongside Gordon and James, until she confessed about this with Thomas and Rosie's help after her flour incident.
 * Donald and Douglas the Scottish Twin Engines: David Tennant (shares a same voice actor, just like coaches) - Tender engines who lived in Caledonian Railway before their arrival, who are strong performers and firm with others, though they often argue despite hating to be parted from each other and used to have a strong dislike of diesels.

 * Rusty the Little Diesel: Billy Crystal - A diesel engine who does maintenance work and odd jobs on the Skarloey Railway, being trusty, quick-thinking and a dedicated worker who often ends up in arguments with Duncan. While he was portrayed as gender-neutral in the original television series, he is male like in the Railway Series books.
 * Duncan: Mike Myers - A grumpy Scottish engine, who has a strong temper and rough manners, being prone to boisterously bouncing about, which became known as "rock 'n rolling", which once led to wedging in the north mouth of Rheneas Tunnel and derailing on a stretch of line near Crosn-ny-Cuirn.

Trivia

 * Unlike the theatrical film in which is a live-action/CGI hybrid, the television series is fully computer-animated, while using models, elements, environments and such Pixar originally created for that.
 * In addition to remaking the plots from previous Thomas storylines, the series also adapts newer, yet interesting storylines that aren't adapted as well (albeit with changes to reflect with the 1940s-50s time period of the series).
 * During the series' development, following the movie/film's big success in box office and critical reception, Disney acquired the franchise's distribution and production rights from Mattel, having also bought HiT Entertainment (listing them as special thanks and keeping their logo on Disney+ airings, replacing Mattel's in Season 21 and the film), while Richard Awdry, Christopher's son, continues The Railway Series with "The Little Blue Engines" (which tells the story of Edward and Thomas' adventures when they first arrived on the North Western Railway) and an adaptation of the film itself.
