SDCC : The Dragon Prince, Adventure Time, Invincible, Rick and Morty And More
Netflix has greenlit Wonderstorm's fantasy series The Dragon Prince, not for one new season- or even two. The series has been given FOUR more seasons. This will take the series up to the end of its planned seven-season run, drawing the story to a close. Each season (or "book") will consist of nine episodes. There is still no date for Book four just yet, but it's currently in production.
Adult Swim and Crunchyroll are teaming up for new original anime series Fena Pirate Princess. The series will be produced by the renowned studio Production IG and directed by Kazuto Nakazawa. The series will air on Toonami and stream on Crunchyroll in 2021.
The series tells the tale of a young orphan girl, Fena Houtman. Fena has been raised on an Island where there is no hope of becoming anything more than chattel, to be used and discarded by soldiers of the British Empire. But Fena is more than just another powerless orphan. When her mysterious past comes knocking, Fena will break the chains of her oppressors. Her goal: forge a new identity, free of bondage, and search for a place where she can truly belong and find out the true mysteries behind a keyword “Eden.” It is the story of a lifetime adventure she and her crew of misfits and unlikely allies will have, in pursuit of her goals!
