Get ready for an epic adventure with Netflix’s latest anime, Leviathan, premiering July 10, 2025! Adapted from Scott Westerfeld’s acclaimed 2009 steampunk trilogy, this series takes you to an alternate 1914 Europe on the brink of World War I, where bioengineered beasts and mechanical war machines collide. Follow Prince Aleksander and Deryn Sharp as they board the bioengineered airship Leviathan, changing the course of history in a world divided between British Darwinists and Austro-Hungarian Clankers. Directed by Christophe Ferreira (Persepolis, MFKZ) and brought to life by Studio Orange (Beastars, Trigun Stampede), this anime features stunning visuals true to Keith Thompson’s original illustrations. The soundtrack is a standout, with Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045) composing the score, alongside five original tracks by the legendary Joe Hisaishi (Studio Ghibli). Co-produced by Qubic Pictures, Leviathan promises a thrilling blend of dieselpunk aesthetics and emotional storytelling.
