The series was announced in November 2018 by the Adult Swim channel and the anime platform crunchyroll premium, whose aim was to tell stories past between the original Blade Runner and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 , with a more direct connection to the second film . Now, three years later, we will finally be able to see this project.
During the San Diego Comic Con , Adult Swim and Crunchyroll made sure to show the official trailer for Blade Runner: Black Lotus , which is scheduled to debut sometime in late 2021.
Blade Runner: Black Lotus features 13 episodes performed by Shinji Aramaki and Kenji Kamiyama . The series is produced by Alcon Entertainment and animation studio Sola Digital Arts , with Shinichiro Watanabe serving as creative producer.
The series, in the dubbed English version, will be aired on Adult Swim in the United States and Canada, while the original Japanese version will air worldwide through Crunchyroll. In other words, it will be on this platform that the Portuguese will be able to enjoy all the episodes.
