The first 13 episodes are due to arrive June 10, 2016 and executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos says it will be a mix of "epic adventure" and "the campy nature of five lions that become a giant robot."

Tyler Labine, Josh Keaton, Jeremy Shada, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Kimberly Brooks, Rhys Darby and The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun are all part of the cast.
