Netflix has finally given us a release date for their new anime series Pacific Rim: The Black. The series is set to hit the streaming service on March 4th, 2021. They also gave us a teaser trailer, check it out below.
Pacific Rim: The Black is set in-between the events of the first Pacific Rim film and the sequel film, Pacific Rim: Uprising. The series will follow a pair of siblings who find an abandoned Jaeger and defend Australia from a series of Kaiju attacks.
The trailer doesn’t give much in sense of the story of the series. It does give us a bleak look at a world torn apart by the Kaiju, however. It also gives us a brief glimpse of the main characters suiting up.
The series has been in development since 2018, with Legendary Entertainment producing the series. Polygon Pictures, the animation studio behind quite a few Netflix anime projects including the Godzilla trilogy, will provide animation for Pacific Rim: The Black. Greg Johnson and Craig Kyle, who have written for several X-Men animated series including X-Men: Evolution, serve as head writers.
Netflix has such confidence in the series that it has already been given the go ahead for a second season. Let’s all have high hopes, shall we.
So will you be tuning into Netflix for Pacific Rim: The Black?
