The new series, Voltron: Legendary Defender (see “Netflix ‘Voltron’ Series Gets Name”) will feature characters with richer backstories than in the original series, and with “a real purpose for being on this mission and getting involved with Voltron in the first place,” Dos Santos said in the report. The characters will engage opponents both as the lions and as humans, depending on the situation.
The new series will be the first new Voltron material since Voltron Force, which lasted one season on Nicktoons in 2011.
