Using the same designs and art style from series writer/creator Bryan O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a new animated adaptation based on the original comics.
The show is set to premiere on Netflix on November 17, 2023. From the trailer and general description, it plans to recreate the plot seen in the live-action film featuring Michael Cera, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010). What’s more, the entire cast from the film will be reprising their roles for the series.
In the film, which is based on the first and second volumes of the comics, Scott Pilgrim is a man in his early twenties, who plays bass part-time for a band called Sex Bob-Omb. In spite of his previous relationships, he falls in love with a girl called Ramona Flowers. But in order to win her heart, he must defeat her seven evil exes.
For those new to the universe of Scott Pilgrim, it may be beneficial to get started with the 20th anniversary deluxe graphic novel box set that is releasing comic volumes with full-color pages for the very first time.
