It’s been announced that an animated series for Dead Cells is in production, with Evil Empire and Motion Twin teaming up with Bobbypills. Fans can expect its debut in 2024.
The show will premiere on ADN, which will also co-produce the show. There are plans for ten, seven-minute long episodes that will initially be exclusive to France before rolling out worldwide.
Here’s some additional information about the Dead Cells animated series:
The show brings fans to a cursed island that has been racked by a strange plague. After the island’s foolish king develops a remedy that ends up turning the population into monstrous creatures, prophecies depicting a flame-headed hero begin to appear. As it so happens this beheaded hero is real, but saving a kingdom isn’t on his schedule and he just wants to be left alone.
This upcoming animated series will be produced by the twisted, talented team at Bobbypills, a Paris-based animation studio known for its expertise in creative, strange originals including Vermin, Peepoodo and the recently announced Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon animated spinoff, Captain Laserhawk. The studio will bring its well-known style, humor and knack for action animation to the Dead Cells animated series to create the dream series for any Dead Cells fan who has wanted to see more of the Beheaded in gorgeous 2D.
Since its founding in 2013, ADN has established itself as one of France’s premiere anime streaming services, eventually asserting itself as a significant player in animation production as well. Working with numerous French studios, the company has co-produced multiple shows, including Dreamland, Lance Dur and Le Collège Noir.
