An adult animated adaptation of Monstress is currently in the works at Amazon MGM Studios. The project comes from Steven Maeda, who previously served as co-creator and showrunner on One Piece, according to a report on Variety.
The official synopsis of the series reads “Set in an Asian-inspired fantasy world, ‘Monstress’ tells the story of a young woman with a literal monster living inside of her. On a quest to understand her past and avenge her mother’s murder, she’s joined by a colorful ensemble including a talking cat and a hybrid fox/human girl as they’re thrown in the middle of a war between human and otherworldly forces. When the world turns us into monsters, ‘Monstress’ asks how can we overcome our monstrosities?”
Created by Marjorie Liu and brought to life visually by Sana Takeda, the Image Comics series Monstress has earned widespread critical acclaim. Its accolades include four Hugo Awards, seven Eisner Awards, and the top honor at the Harvey Awards, where it was named Book of the Year in 2018.
