“In Season 2 of Pacific Rim: The Black, the journey is far from over. Our brave siblings Taylor and Hayley still hope to reach the safety of Sydney aboard Atlas Destroyer, the scaled-down training Jaeger left behind when Australia was evacuated,” the season’s blurb reads.
“With teenage assassin Mei and the mysterious human/kaiju hybrid bOy joining Taylor and Hayley, this makeshift family must cross a dangerous territory controlled by the bloodthirsty cult Sisters of the Kaiju. These zealots, led by the enigmatic High Priestess, are convinced that bOy is their long-awaited Messiah and will stop at nothing to indoctrinate him into their dark circle – something Hayley would sacrifice everything to prevent.”

For those unfamiliar with this spin-off, Pacific Rim: The Black debuted in March 2021 under developers Greg Johnson and Craig Kyle. Polygon Pictures produced the show’s CG animation, and the anime takes place far after the events of Pacific Rim: Uprising. The seven-episode series follows two siblings fighting to survive in Australia after the continent is overtaken by kaiju. And when they discover a decommissioned Jaeger named Atlas Destroyer, the siblings must work together to reclaim their home from monsters and more.
