Netflix and Legendary Televisions (already working on Pacific Rim: The Black) have announced two new anime series: Skull Island and Tomb Raider

Great news for anime fans as Netflix has announced two iconic anime series.

What is Skull Island?

Legendary’s Monsterverse is an expansive story universe of multi-layered experiences centring around humanity’s battle to survive in a world that is under siege by a catastrophic new reality – the monsters of our myths and legends are real. Beginning in 2014 with Godzilla, continuing with 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Monsterverse films have accumulated over one billion dollars at the box office internationally, and in March 2021, comes the next epic chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse, Godzilla vs. Kong.

Skull Island is a thrilling animated adventure series that follows shipwrecked characters desperate to escape the most dangerous place on Earth—a mysterious island home to prehistoric monsters, including the greatest titan of them all, Kong.

What is Tomb Raider?

In case anyone doesn’t know who Lara Croft is, or has never heard of Tomb Raider, in the 25 years since its launch, the Tomb Raider video game series has sold over 81 million copies. The game’s success has led to a global franchise encompassing movies, merchandise, comic books and now, a stylish animated series. The most recent game release, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, has received numerous “Best of” nominations and awards.

Picking up after the events of the highly successful Tomb Raider video-game reboot trilogy, the animated series will chart the globetrotting heroine’s latest, greatest adventure. Twenty-five years after her first game appeared, Lara continues to explore new territory.
