Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina have closed a deal with anime-centric streamer Crunchyroll to develop the dark fantasy series “Dantai”.
The Afro-futuristic sci-fi series is set in a city where the rise of biotechnology has created a gap between the haves and have-nots.
The series will explore equality and kinship through the story of two rising stars on either side of the divide who are pitted against one another.
The Elbas will executive produce through his Green Door Pictures and her Pink Towel Pictures labels. The deal comes as Crunchyroll is being prepared to be sold to Sony’s Funimation.
