Those who are impatient for more Suicide Squad television are in luck. While we’ll eventually have a second season of the live-action Peacemaker and an Amanda Waller spinoff heading to Max, we have Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, King Shark and others heading to the world of anime sometime in 2024, and we’ve got a trailer to prove it.
The series, Suicide Squad Isekai, as its title suggests, focuses on a popular genre of anime called Isekai, in which well-known characters find themselves pulled into a fantasy world (well, a different fantasy world than what they’re used to, at least), where they face foes new and old and also gain some new powers along the way.
Here’s the official synopsis:
In the crime-ridden city of Gotham, Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled a group of notorious criminals for a mission: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark. These Super-Villains are sent into an otherworldly realm that’s connected to this world through a gate. It’s a world of swords and magic where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies—an “ISEKAI”!
With lethal explosives planted in their necks, there’s no running or hiding, and failing the mission means a one-way ticket to the afterlife! Can Harley Quinn and her crew conquer this perilous ISEKAI realm?! Brace yourselves for the pulse-pounding saga of the elite task force known as the “Suicide Squad” as they embark on a jaw-dropping adventure!
The trailer above shows the Suicide Squad gang facing off against the Joker and other DC notables including Clayface. It’s directed by Eri Osada with a story written by Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara, and features the voices of Anna Nagase as Harley Quinn, Yuuichirou Umehara as the Joker, Reigo Yamaguchi as Deadshot, Takehito Koyasu as Peacemaker, Jun Fukuyama as Clayface, and Subaru Kimura as King Shark.
Suicide Squad Isekai is set to premiere sometime in 2024.
