Netflix have released an official teaser trailer for their upcoming Leviathan series, which is coming in 2025. Featuring an epic score, flying whales and a lot of smooth CGI, the anime is being created by Qubix (Star Wars: Visions) and Orange (Land of the Lustrous) with original songs by Spirited Away's Joe Hisaishi backed by a soundtrack from Toda & Kazuma Jinnouchi (Suzume). Safe to say the production values are impressive all around.
The film is based on the 2009 book Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, which was the first in a trilogy. According to a post on the author's webste, Netflix is committed to telling the story across the entire trilogy. Both author and the book's illustrator, Keith Thompson were heavily involved in production.
Synopsis:
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.
