\u201cThis is not a drill! This is happening!\n\nAfter much musing over the years about there being potential for an anime adaptation of \u2018Scott Pilgrim\u2019, I\u2019m thrilled to say one is IMMINENT, with the whole cast back together and\u2026 you are going to lose your minds.\u201d— edgarwright (@edgarwright) 1680184881

Bryan Lee O’Malley, who created the graphic novel series, will co-write and executive produce the show along with BenDavid Grabinski. Edgar Wright, who directed and co-wrote the 2010 film, also reassembled the cast as voice actors, tweeting a teaser to the anime series on Thursday.
“One of the proudest and most enjoyable achievements of my career was assembling and working with the dynamite cast of ‘Scott Pilgrim,'” Wright said, per Variety. “Since the film’s release in 2010, we’ve done Q&A's, remembrances, and charity read-throughs, but there was never the occasion to reunite the whole gang on an actual project. Until now… Original creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, along with writer BenDavid Grabinski have conjured up an anime series of ‘Scott Pilgrim’ that doesn’t just expand the universe, but also…well, just watch it. I’m more than happy to announce that I have helped coax the entire original cast back to voice their characters on this epic new adventure. You are in for a treat.”
The six graphic novels follow Pilgrim, a bassist in Toronto who falls in love with Flowers, but must defeat her seven evil exes before the two can date.
