Monstress Animated Series in the Works at Amazon 👀

Big news for comic fans—according to Variety, an adult animated series based on Monstress is currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios. The project is being led by Steven Maeda, known for co-creating and serving as showrunner on One Piece.

If you haven’t experienced Monstress yet, now’s the perfect time to dive in. Created by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, the series transports readers to a richly imagined, matriarchal alternate version of 1900s Asia. Blending art deco and steampunk influences, the world is filled with magic, mystery, and danger.

At its heart is a powerful story about a teenage girl grappling with the trauma of war—while sharing a psychic bond with a terrifying, otherworldly monster. As their connection deepens, both are thrust into a conflict that spans human and supernatural forces alike.

For those looking to jump in, Monstress Book Volume 1 is the perfect starting point—a stunning graphic novel that showcases the series’ breathtaking art and gripping storytelling.

Stay tuned—this is one adaptation we’ll definitely be watching closely.
