Netflix Issues Official Trailer And Poster For “The Liberator”

Netflix has released a new poster, trailer, and synopsis for their highly anticipated new animated series from Trioscope Entertainment being directed by Jeb Stuart. The four part nearly four hour event series is looking like it’s going to slide in and show everyone who is leading the charge in original adult animation, because this looks insane.

The Liberator premieres November 11, only on Netflix.

Synopsis: On September 9th, 1943, over three thousand naval vessels and 150,000 troops began Operation Avalanche, the Allied invasion of Italy… In an attempt to achieve tactical surprise, the allies forgo naval and air bombardment. But the invasion surprised no one and was met by fierce German resistance. By the second day the Allies had committed all of their reinforcements and by the end of the fourth day the operation teetered on the brink of failure.

The German Army, sensing an American defeat, rushed over 40,000 reinforcements to Salerno to drive the allies into the sea. Faced with potential annihilation the Allied high command considered the unthinkable. Evacuation. In the midst of this debate a commander of a National Guard regiment from Oklahoma made this announcement: “Now’s not the time to leave. Now’s the time for some hard fighting.” This is the story of those men. Men known as the Thunderbirds.

The series is directed by accomplished animator and VFX artist Grzegorz Jonkajtys (Sin City, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Revenant), co-produced by Alex Kershaw. Executive producers are Bob Shaye, Michael Lynne (Lord of the Rings) and Sarah Victor for Unique Features; L.C. Crowley, Grzegorz Jonkajtys, Brandon Barr and Mark Apen for Trioscope; and Barry Jossen for A+E Studios.
