Entertainment news website Variety reported on Monday that Legendary Pictures is developing a Pacific Rim prequel series as part of a first-look television deal with filmmaker Eric Heisserer (Shadow and Bone, Arrival).
Heisserer and fellow Chronology founder Carmen Lewis will be responsible for developing IP-driven projects for the studio. The Pacific Rim origin story is the first project as part of the new deal.
Netflix's Pacific Rim: The Black anime series premiered in April 2021. The first season had seven half-hour episodes and debuted worldwide in March 2021.
Polygon Pictures (BLAME!, Godzilla: Kaijū Wakusei film trilogy) produced the 3D-animated series based on the live-action Pacific Rim films. Craig Kyle and Greg Johnson are the co-showrunners on the series by Legendary Entertainment.
Pacific Rim Uprising debuted in theaters in February 2018.
