Commitment! Imagine teeing up a six-part movie franchise and pushing ahead with it. I don’t think the fact that Princess Principal: Crown Handler is an anime makes it any easier.
The first in the series started in 2021, albeit delayed from 2020 due to the world getting ill.
It is Sentai Filmworks who have licensed the multi-part series, and it’s Actas who are helming the project for them. Director Masaki Tachibana (Barakamon, .hack//Quantum) who is directing.
Sentai describe the first of the series;
Following the attempted assassination of the Queen, manhunts for spies become a frequent occurrence within the Kingdom. In response, Control — the Commonwealth’s covert operations group — begins to suspect the presence of a double agent within the Kingdom’s royal family. In order to reveal the truth, Control dispatches spy ring “Team White Pigeon.” But danger lurks around every corner, and when you don’t know who you can trust, being a spy has never been more perilous for Ange and the rest of Team White Pigeon.
Part three of Crown Handler is due out in April next year.
