Development 

In January 2022, it was reported that Netflix and Universal Content Productions were developing an anime series based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley; at the time, Netflix had ordered several other anime and animated projects based on popular properties. O'Malley was announced as showrunner, writer, and executive producer alongside BenDavid Grabinski, with animator Abel Góngora directing. Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall, who directed and wrote the 2010 live-action film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, were also involved with the anime and serve as executive producers. The animation production is provided by Science Saru. In March 2023, it was announced that the series had officially been green-lit, with Wright noting that it expanded the Scott Pilgrim universe. Casting 

On March 30, 2023, Netflix released a cast announcement video, confirming that the cast of the 2010 film would reprise their roles. Wright had assembled the actors for the film and helped convince them all to return for the anime. He reflected that casting and working on the film was "one of the proudest and most enjoyable achievements of [his] career". They had previously reunited for 10th anniversary events, with the team reportedly excited to have another project in the Scott Pilgrim universe to create. and , the actors who portrayed the Katayanagi twins in non-speaking roles in the film, were not mentioned in the cast announcement; it was subsequently announced that Julian Cihi will voice both twins. The production confirmed that further cast members would be announced later. Writing 
When O'Malley and Grabinski began writing the series, they wanted to capture the spirit of the comics and movie, but still update things in the near two-decades since the comics original publication. Some of these changes include changing Ramona's job from a delivery girl for Amazon to delivering DVDs for Netflix and also expanding on the backstories of the evil-exes. Music 
The series' music will be composed by Joseph Trapanese and Anamanaguchi, the latter having previously composed for the film's video game adaptation. The show's opening theme, "Bloom" is performed by Japanese rock band Necry Talkie. Release 
Wright posted on social media that its release was "imminent" on March 30, 2023, while discussing the cast. It was announced in August that same year by Netflix that the series will release on November 17 and will consist of eight episodes. References
