The latest installment in a long and storied franchise, Legendary Defender is available now on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure. The official synopsis reveals that the reboot will run a similar course to its source material, though it will unquestionably take artistic liberties to create a more immersive and well-rounded franchise:įive unsuspecting teenagers, transported from Earth into the middle of a sprawling intergalactic war, become pilots for five robotic lions in the battle to protect the universe from evil.
The new franchise, titled Voltron: Legendary Defender, appears to be packed with high-energy battles, sinister villains, intelligent humor, and engrossing story lines, and was executive produced by The Legend of Korra's Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos. Audiences are anxious to see what Netflix and DreamWorks Animation have cooked up, and judging from early promotional material and the latest sizzle reel, the buzz around this reboot is well deserved. Today marks the official revival of beloved 1980's animated series, Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
