>Idris and Sabrina Elba are set to executive produce their first anime title — a new animated fantasy series for Crunchyroll, the global anime-streaming service that’s in the process of being sold to Sony’s Funimation group.

>The couple inked a deal with Crunchyroll to develop “Dantai” (working tile) through Idris’ Green Door Pictures and Sabrina’s Pink Towel Pictures. In addition to the deal with the Elbas, Crunchyroll — which Sony group agreed to acquire from AT&T’s WarnerMedia for $1.2 billion — announced that it topped 4 million paid subscribers in January 2021, six months after hitting the 3 million-subscriber mark.

>“Dantai” is an Afro-futuristic sci-fi series set in a city where the rise of biotechnology has created an ever-widening gap between the haves and have-nots, according to Crunchyroll. Two rising stars from each side of this divide are pitted against each other in a story that will ultimately explore equality and kinship within a corrupt society.
