After months of anticipation, only one week remains until the 20 March 2024 debut of Sand Land The Series anime, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.

Set across 13 fun-filled episodes, Sand Land The Series transports viewers to a world where the water supply is all but dried up, with the small amount remaining controlled by a greedy king. Tired of suffering under the king’s rule, Sheriff Rao reaches out to Sand Land’s demons for help, with the group setting off on a journey to discover the “Legendary Spring”.

An exciting retelling of the hit 2023 Sand Land movie, Sand Land: The Series will build upon the movie’s original universe, telling new stories and featuring new characters alongside beloved fan favourites – the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao, and Thief.

Based on the popular short story by the late Akira Toriyama, the creator of DRAGON BALL and Dr. Slump, Sand Land The Series is a collaboration between Sunrise – the anime studio behind Mobile Suit Gundam and Love Live! – Kamikaze Douga, – the 3DCG animation studio behind POPTEPIC and the title sequence for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – and ANIMA.

Starring Mutsumi Tamura as the voice of the Fiend Prince Beelzebub; Kazuhiro Yamaji as the voice of Rao; Ch? as the voice of Thief; Satoshi Tsuruoka as the voice of General Are; and Nobuo Tobita as the voice of Supreme Commander Zeu; Sand Land: The Series is directed by Toshihisa Yokoshima and is adapted for the screen from Akira Toriyama’s original manga by Hayashi Mori.
