Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim comics have a loyal following, but most people know them from the 2010 film adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Despite the popularity of the film, the Michael Cera-directed flick never got a sequel. However, it seems that fans will soon be able to revisit the world in a different format: an anime coming to Netflix.

Right, the sex bob ombs are making a comeback! They’ll just be a little bit more animated this time around.
On January 7th, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Netflix and UCP would be joining forces to bring fans an anime adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim comics. More than 10 years after the popular film hit theaters, new content is undoubtedly welcome. And fans will be delighted to learn that series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley will write, run the series, and serve as one of its showrunners.
He will do this with showrunner and executive producer BenDavid Grabinski. Grabinski directed Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? Reboot, and he wrote for the films Skiptrace and Happily. According to THR, the duo will partner with Studio Science SARU to bring the anime to life.
If all goes according to plan, fans of O’Malley’s six comic strip series could see a new version of it soon.
