Image: Universal Pictures Crunchyroll, which Sony’s Funimation just acquired for $1.175 billion, continues to grow its subscribers and content catalogue. And with anime (and anime-adjacent, all-ages programming) becoming a keystone of pop culture, bigger and bigger names are partnering with companies like Crunchyroll to find a way in. Case in point: Idris Elba, of Thor, The Wire fame, will produce a new series created exclusively for the platform. On Tuesday, Crunchyroll announced that Elba’s Green Door Pictures, and his wife Sabrina Elba’s Pink Towel Pictures, would develop Dantai (working title), described as a dark, Afrofuturistic sci-fi series “set in a city where the rise of biotechnology has created an ever-widening gap between the haves and have-nots.”
