New Netflix VOLTRON Series Lands LEGEND OF KORRA Talent as Showrunners
Earlier this year we learned that Netflix was developing a new Voltron animated series called Voltron: Legendary Defender. We got a teaser poster for the series last month, and it seemed to spark some excitement among fans of the franchise. The series has taken a positive step forward that might get you a little bit more excited.
According to Nerdist, the streaming service has hired The Legend of Korra associate producer Lauren Montgomery and Legend of Korra director Joaquim Dos Santos to be the showrunners on the series. That was one of the most well-made and popular animated series in recent memory, so it’s great that they brought in this kind of talent. They also both worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender and various DC animated projects.
There are still no other details regarding what we can expect from the series, but I’m expecting greatness. Fans would not accept anything less. We will learn more about the series in a couple of weeks at WonderCon where a panel will be held.
The Voltron: Legendary Defender panel will take place on Friday, March 25th, in Room 151, from 6:00 – 7:00pm. Dos Santos, Montgomery, writer Tim Hedrick (The Legend of Korra, Avatar: The Last Airbender), and other unannounced special guests will be in attendance.
The series seems like it is in good hands, and I'm excited to learn more about what this talented team of people plan on doing with it.
