Originally created by Satoru Hiura and first published in 2004, Hotaru’s Way gained a dedicated following and continued with sequels and spin-offs until 2009.

Now, according to Deadline, Unapologetic Projects is bringing Hotaru’s Way to North America with a brand new live-action television series. Producers on the project include Paige Hooper, Motoko Kimura, and Kate Kugler, though a release date hasn’t been announced yet.

Apple TV+’s sci-fi series, For All Mankind, is a great example of compelling alternate history storytelling. The show starts with a simple ‘what if’ – what if the Soviet Union had won the space race and landed on the Moon first? Over five seasons, it’s built a detailed alternate timeline, growing from the NASA control room to a Martian base and beyond. While the sixth and final season of For All Mankind is coming soon, the story is expanding with Star City, a spinoff that explores the Soviet perspective which began this alternate Earth. And it’s already proving popular, less than a week after its release.
