New Mysterious Cities of Gold Series Reportedly Planned

Writer Jean Chalopin announced at France's Chibi Anime Expo last weekend that a new Mysterious Cities of Gold series is in the works. According to Chalopin, the TF1 television channel in France is planning three 26-episode seasons for release starting in 2011. Chalopin did not indicate who will animate the project or if Japan's Studio Pierrot will be involved as it was for the original 1982-1983 French/Japanese production. The original story followed a Spanish boy, an Incan girl, and a boy from the Galapagos Islands as they searched for the fabled Cities of Gold in South America.
