The time has finally come for a new iteration ofThe Suicide Squadto terrorize the streets of the DC universe. Max has announced thatSuicide Squad Isekai, the upcoming anime television series based around the popular team of anti-heroes, will officially be available for streaming on June 27. Only the first three episodes will debut that day, with subsequent chapters dropping every Thursday. The season finale ofSuicide Squad Isekaiwill premiere on August 15, bringing the unpredictable narrative to a close. Audiences might think they know what the team is capable of, but the upcoming show will prove that the Suicide Squad still has a couple of surprises prepared for their target.
Suicide Squad Isekaifollows Harley Quinn (Anna Nagase), Deadshot (Reigo Yamaguchi), and other team members as they’re sent on a very dangerous mission. With literal ticking time bombs attached to their necks, the Suicide Squad will have to get creative to get out of this one. The premise is similar to what can be expected from any story featuring the Suicide Squad, but the unique visual style produced byWit Studiowill make the upcoming series an unforgettable ride for any fan of the property.
A recent trailer forSuicide Squad Isekaiintroduced this show’s version of Peacemaker (Takehito Koyasu) the careless vigilante who will obtain peace by any violent means necessary. Unlike the live-action version of the character portrayed byJohn Cenain his own television series, this Peacemaker doesn’t understand that he has to change his ways to become a better person. The vigilante is prepared to do whatever it takes to get away with his plan, even if it comes at the cost of the Squad’s mission.
Despite years of DC Comics stories, the Suicide Squad became widely known thanks to the 2016 movie directed byDavid Ayerbased on their adventures. FeaturingJared Letoas the Joker, and the introduction ofMargot Robbieas Harley Quinn, the movie earned more than $700 million at the worldwide box office.Suicide Squad Isekaiwill expand on the team’s popularity, with Wit Studio providing its own take on the unpredictable group of reformed antagonists. Time will tell if this iteration of the Suicide Squad will be able to save their own necks, or if the upcoming anime series will end up as a tragedy for Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, and the others.
