Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 (April 2020)
While the recent live-action movie of the same name didn’t really tarnish the legacy of the franchise, there is no doubt that fans of Ghost in the Shell were left wanting a bit more after seeing it. In 2020, it looks like Netflix may well grant that wish.
Titled Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, this upcoming original aligns heavily with the cyberpunk themes known to the series. It is set in a fictional version of 2045 Japan, where global capitalism has failed.
In this new, futuristic society, covert operating units have begun conducting secret cybernetic operations, looking to manipulate technology any way they can to get an advantage.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 will feature a unique look, as Netflix has revealed they will use 3DCG animation to create the show. This style emulates hand-drawn anime alongside the use of CGI technology.
