A live-action TV series is in-development at Amazon, according to .News of the project was first shared in 2024, when reported that screenwriter Eric Heisserer was attached to develop and write the show.The new series will apparently be a prequel to Guillermo Del Toro's original , a movie about Kaiju-fighting giant mechs and the humans that pilot them.Legendary, which produced , is also backing the series alongside Amazon MGM.
The studio appears to be using the same strategy with that worked with its Godzilla-and-King-Kong-starring "MonsterVerse" franchise.streamed on Apple TV+ in 2023, and acted as both a prequel and sequel to the "MonsterVerse" films.Heisserer has plenty of experience adapting existing material.His script converted an experimental second-person short story into a (relatively) thoughtful blockbuster, and his work on Netflix's found a clever way to interweave the first book in Leigh Bardugo's series with characters from a later duology.
seems a lot more straightforward in comparison.There's yet to be an official announcement from Amazon, or any dates for when we can expect the series to be available, but there has been quite a bit of new material since the first film came out in 2013.The live-action sequel was released in 2018 and Netflix put out its anime sequel, in 2021.
