On top of the upcoming game, Akira Toriyama’s Sand Land story is expanding with a brand new anime series on Hulu in 2024.
There’s a whole lot more Sand Land to look forward to in 2024. Hulu has announced Spring 2024 will bring Sand Land: The Series exclusively to their streaming service. The show will both serve as a retelling of the anime film that arrived earlier this year, while also expanding to tell NEW stories with the characters as well.
In “Sand Land: The Series,” viewers are transported to a world where the water supply is all but dried up, with the small amount remaining controlled by a greedy king. Tired of suffering under the king’s rule, Sheriff Rao reaches out to Sand Land’s demons for help, and together they set off on a journey to discover the “Legendary Spring”.
An exciting retelling of the hit 2023 “Sand Land” movie, “Sand Land: The Series” will build upon the movie’s original universe, telling new stories featuring the beloved Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao, and Thief.
Based on the popular short story by Akira Toriyama, the creator of “Dragon Ball” and “Dr. Slump,” “Sand Land: The Series” is a collaboration between Sunrise, the anime studio behind “Mobile Suit Gundam” and “Love Live! Series”; anime studio Kamikaze Douga, which has gained attention for POPTEPIC and for creating the title sequence for “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”; and ANIMA, which specializes in high-quality 3DCG animation.
Starring Mutsumi Tamura as the voice of the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Kazuhiro Yamaji as the voice of Rao, Chō as the voice of Thief, Satoshi Tsuruoka as the voice of General Are, and Nobuo Tobita as the voice of Supreme Commander Zeu, “Sand Land: The Series” is directed by Toshihisa Yokoshima and is adapted for the screen from Akira Toriyama’s original graphic novel by Hayashi Mori.
Hulu will be celebrating Sand Land: The Series (plus several of their other anime titles) at this weekend’s Anime NYC convention.
