After ending on something of a cliffhanger, Netflix has finally announced when the Pacific Rim anime, The Black, is coming back. Plus some first look images to boot!
I greatly enjoyed Pacific Rim: The Black, despite having somewhat fallen out of love with Pacific Rim in general as a franchise. It ended rather abruptly, however, and I’ve been eager to see how the story would continue. Now, a little over a year since it first debuted, Netflix has revealed when it will return: April 19, 2022.
The news comes complete with some first look images to enjoy, as well as the reveal it will be the FINAL season as well. While that’s a bit of a bummer, I’m always glad to see a show have a clear story endpoint.
In the epic series conclusion of Pacific Rim: The Black (S2), the journey is far from over. Our brave siblings Taylor and Hayley still hope to reach the safety of Sydney aboard Atlas Destroyer, the scaled-down training Jaeger left behind when Australia was evacuated. With teenage assassin Mei and the mysterious human/kaiju hybrid bOy joining Taylor and Hayley, this makeshift family must cross a dangerous territory controlled by the bloodthirsty cult Sisters of the Kaiju. These zealots, led by the enigmatic High Priestess, are convinced that bOy is their long-awaited Messiah and will stop at nothing to indoctrinate him into their dark circle – something Hayley would sacrifice everything to prevent.
Will you be watching Pacific Rim: The Black season two next month?
