There’s a strong team behind this one.

Netflix has a new alternative history anime on the way, Leviathan, and it has some incredibly strong talent behind it.

You can check the first teaser trailer for the series above, which does give a pretty lengthy look at the show, just without any voice acting. There’s some pretty serious talent attached to it too - on composing duties are Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi, a composing duo that’s worked on titles like Metal Gear Solid 4 , Final Fantasy 14 , and Halo 5 .

The much beloved Joe Hisaishi, best known for composing Studio Ghibli works like Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away, is also composing original songs for Leviathan. On top of that, Orange is a strong animation studio to helm it, having made series like Trigun Stampede, Beasters, and Land of the Lustrous. Safe to say, it’s a very strong team all in all.

Netflix explains the show: “In 1914, on the eve of war, a fugitive prince and a girl in disguise meet aboard a bioengineered airship, the HMS Leviathan, and change the course of history.”

Leviathan doesn’t have an exact release date just yet, unfortunately, but Netflix is currently slating it to release sometime in 2025. Let’s just hope Delicious in Dungeon wasn’t a fluke and the streamer releases Leviathan weekly too (RIP Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6).
