Voltron’s head writer is another Avatar and Korra alum, Tim Hedrick.

DreamWorks’ show is based on a mid-’80s syndicated American TV series called Voltron: Defender of the Universe, in which five pilots command robotic lions that can be combined into a single super-robot called Voltron. The show was an early example of remix culture; it was composed of chopped-up versions of multiple Japanese animated series that were re-edited and re-written with completely new plots and characters for American viewers. The unusual tale of how the series came to be can be read on the website Birth. Movies. Death.

“As children of the 80s who grew up with Voltron what was there not to love?” said Dos Santos in a press statement. “You had 5 awesome lions, piloted by 5 awesome heroes who combined to form a giant, sword wielding Titan! It unapologetically married sci-fi and fantasy in one incredibly over the top, bombastic package.” Dos Santos has said that he will retain all those elements from the original series in the new “comedic action-packed” reboot, but will flesh out the universe with “a rich backstory and characters who will evolve over the course of the series.”
