Some time after DC's adaptation launched, it was announced that the original gen:LOCK animated series had been renewed for a second season and would be moving to HBO Max. RWBY Volume 8 is currently in development. A daring team is recruited to pilot a new form of weaponized neuroscience that powers devastating mecha, but they must be willing to sacrifice everything to save the world. In a style reminiscent of Chris Claremont’s X-Men, the core gen:LOCK crew are diverse, young, and helpfully color-coded in design.
