Wright beforehand talked concerning the undertaking, saying: “Luckily, the Scott Pilgrim cast became a close-knit family, and friendships were forged for life. There — to this day — is still a group email with the entire cast on it, that’s been going since 2010. I was happy to be able to reach out to everyone with the news that we had finally come up with a way to continue the adventure. Seeing (and hearing) everyone come back to their roles has been a true pleasure.”
He continued, “Over the years fans had asked if there would be a sequel to the film or some other kind of continuation. I knew that a live-action sequel was unlikely, but I would usually defer by suggesting that perhaps an anime adaptation was an interesting way to go. And then, lo and behold, one day Netflix got in touch to ask about this exact idea. But even better, our brilliant creator Bryan Lee O’Malley had an idea that was way more adventurous than just a straight adaptation of the original books.”
Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski, the writer and artist of the graphic novels revealed from 2004 to 2010, will function government producers, writers, and showrunners. Edgar Wright will function government producer whereas Science SARU will function the animation studio with government producer Eunyoung Choi and director Abel Gongora.
