Voltron roars back onto Netflix

Voltron: Defender of the Universe is an American animated television series that features a team of astronauts who pilot a giant Super Robot known as “Voltron”.

Keep in mind that Voltron has a 78 episode commitment. Season 5 got us up to 45 episodes so there are plenty of Voltron episodes yet to come!

Apparently, animated cats were very important in the 1980s. We had “Heathcliff,” “Garfield,” “ThunderCats” and the lions of “Voltron.” Netflix and DreamWorks Animation revived “Voltron” two years ago and just released six new episodes of the series today. No word on when we’re getting a “Heathcliff” reboot.
