Netflix will release the much anticipated animated film Nimona in 2023. Annapurna Pictures partnered with Netflix when production began early last year. The film is adapted from the New York Times bestselling graphic novel by author ND Stevenson, who announced the news and debuted a first look on Twitter this morning. Nick Bruno and Troy Quane are directing.

Producers: Roy Lee, Karen Ryan, Julie Zackary
Executive Producers: Robert L. Baird, Megan Ellison, Andrew Millstein
Cast: Chloë Grace Moretz as Nimona, Riz Ahmed as Ballister Boldheart, and Eugene Lee Yang as Ambrosius Goldenloin.
Animation by: DNEG Animation

Synopsis: A Knight is framed for a crime he didn’t commit and the only person who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, a shape-shifting teen who might also be a monster he’s sworn to kill. Set in a techno-medieval world unlike anything animation has tackled before, this is a story about the labels we assign to people and the shapeshifter who refuses to be defined by anyone.
