Amazon has unveiled the initial trailer for the live-action adaptation of the popular anime Oshi no KO.
The story of twin sisters Aqua and Ruby, who are given another chance at life thanks to their idol mother, AI Hoshino, is the focus of the eight-episode series that will premiere on Prime Video on Nov. 28. A captivating story involving twins trying to uncover the conspiracy surrounding their mother’s death is showcased in the trailer, which combines elements of tragedy and J-pop.
Oshi no Ko wrapped up its run for Season 2 of the anime series earlier this Summer, and has been such a success that the anime is already in the works for Season 3. But that’s not all fans are going to get to see this year as Oshi no Ko is the next major franchise getting the live-action treatment. Oshi no Ko will be branching out with a new live-action movie and TV series beginning later this year.
