When could Voltron be released?

The release date of Voltron is one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the project, as production is in development and they have not yet finished casting all the actors for the cast, so there is still a long way to go.

It could be estimated that it will hit the screen sometime in 2026 or 2027, but it is truly uncertain. Todd Lieberman, Bob Koplar and David Hoberman are some of the producers involved with the title.

The director himself, who is also one of the producers, has written the script along with Ellen Shanman. Therefore, he is really invested in ensuring that everything goes well and is done as faithfully as possible.
