Animated MICRONAUTS Series Reported Slated to Hit Screens Later This Year

During a year when fans have been facing many setbacks in the arena of release dates, it sounds like we may be getting a new animated series that we weren’t even planning for. A producer on the series says that Micronauts, based on the ‘80s comic, is a project they have been working on. In a recent interview with PopHorror (via CB), producer Paul Edward-Francis said:

"We have season two coming up for Blood of Zeus that I cannot wait for. I also have another show, I believe, scheduled for release later this year, Micronauts. It is an animation series based on the old Japanese sci-fi comic book, The Micronauts, from the 1980s."

Here's the official synopsis:

"When fate brings an unlikely team of alien space explorers to earth in pursuit of the evil Baron Karza, they make a shocking discovery - on our world they are the size of action figures! The Micronauts are small heroes in a big world but the stakes are higher than ever as their miniaturized size presents dangerous obstacles at every turn. Fortunately, they forge an alliance with teenager Cameron Ruck, who will join them in their pursuit of justice. Although the Micronauts are small in stature, their bravery and adventurous spirits remain larger than life."

The movie version of Micronauts is said to take place within the same universe as the Transformers movies, but there is no report as to whether we will see this happen in the series anytime soon. The series has not landed at a streamer or network yet, but it sounds like we should be getting more info soon. Are you excited for a Micronauts series?!
