Crunchyroll and Zoe Saldana’s Cinestar Pictures label are teaming to develop the space-opera anime series “Dark Star Squadron”.
The series follows the journey of four failing cadets who return from a joyride with a stolen starship to find their academy in ruins and everyone vanished.
Now on their own, the ill-equipped heroes set off for the far side of the galaxy to find their missing comrades — and prove their worth.
Todd Ludy (“Voltron: Legendary Defender”) is on board to write with Zoe and her sisters Cisely Saldana and Mariel Saldana serving as executive producers. Sonia A. Gambaro and Maytal Gilboa are producing.
Crunchyroll has more than 5 million paying subscribers and more than 120 million registered users worldwide.
