Warner Bros. network Adult Swim has commissioned Floating Points, Bonobo and award-winning jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington to score a new programme.
Lazarus is a Japanese animated television series directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. While there is no release date announced yet, it's confirmed to be greenlit for 13 episodes. The show will be debuting on the channel's Toonami programming block, which is dedicated to Japanese anime as well as American action animation.
The series will be set in the year 2052, which seems to be a utopian era until a neuroscientist vanishes after developing a drug too good to be true. He returns bearing the news that the drug has a half-life that will kill everyone soon, prompting a group of five special agents to form with a goal to save humanity.
“As I embark on this creative journey, I can't help but feel that this project will serve as a culmination of my career so far," Watanabe said in a press statement.
