Created by Adi Shankar, the original anime series mixes alternative Ubisoft characters in homage to the early 90s; the show hits the streamer this coming Fall.
Netflix has released a teaser clip and images for its upcoming original animated series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which mixes alternative Ubisoft characters in a highly referenced homage to the early 90s. Created and executive produced by Adi Shankar (Dredd, Castlevania), the anime-style 2D series comes to the streamer Fall 2023.
In the series, the year is 1992. The country formerly known as the USA is now called Eden, a technocracy ruled by propaganda and corruption. Super-soldier Dolph Laserhawk has just been betrayed by the love of his life and locked up in Eden’s top security prison, Supermaxx. He must now lead a team of rebel outcasts on risky undercover missions in order to survive.
Shankar voices Red from the show’s Niji Six, inspired by Rainbow Six Siege. "Balak" lends his voice as the sweet but deadly Assassin, Bullfrog, inspired by Assassin’s Creed. Nathaniel Curtis (Witcher: Blood Origin, It’s A Sin) voices Dolph Laserhawk, Mark Ebulue voices Marcus Holloway (Watch Dogs 2), and Boris Hiestand (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) voices Alex.
Helene Juguet, Hugo Revon, and Gerard Guillemot produce for Ubisoft Film & Television; Bobbypills produces the animation, with Mehdi Leffad serving as director of the show and “Balak” as the studio’s creative director.
