Netflix anime Voltron Legendary Defenders is coming back for its six season. The show runners sat down to discuss the new turn of allies and villains uniting as well as future plans for the series. This is what they have to say.
“So Lotor has now become the rightful emperor of the Galra Empire, but unfortunately not every citizen of the Galra Empire is on board with that. So they have a very fractured empire. It’s basically a civil war within the Galra. And the Voltron coalition is just trying to work with Lotor, to regain as much peace within the universe as they can.” Lauren Montgomery
“And that’s where we left things off. Lotor obviously still has more to be revealed, and I think that was a big sort of element of his personality that we kind of left hanging, that we want people to feel a little uneasy as to what exactly his plans are.”Joaquim Dos Santos,
“Yeah, it’s difficult for sure. We just try to make sure that at least the most important foreground characters are getting service. We’re not gonna be able to give every single background character their whole arc, or anything. Unfortunately, we ended up with a show where we already had like seven main characters from day one. Yeah, it’s tricky.We have some people kind of step into the spotlight for a moment. Some people kind of hang in the background for a while, but we try not to let anyone go too long without some sort of a moment ” Montgomery
“You know, it is tough with a show like this. and with a fandom that sort of has the ability to kind of pick their favorite. You’re bound to kind of leave a little segment wanting more from their specific character. Luckily I will say that we’ve got media outside the show itself that can serve as some of that stuff. And if something really resonates, and lands within the fandom, I don’t think anybody would be opposed to seeing those storylines told in different mediums.” Santos
