#The Series Teaser Trailer Released

A teaser trailer has been release for Sand Land: The Series, which begins streaming on Disney+ this Spring.

Sand Land: The Series was announced last November as a slightly altered version of August 2023’s Sand Land movie that includes cuts that couldn’t be included previously, “famous scenes” from the manga, and new story material that continues from the film.

Sand Land is based on the 2000 manga by Dragon Ball‘s Akira Toriyama, which ran for 14 chapters in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and is collected into a single volume. Viz Media describes the manga as:

In the far future, war has destroyed the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland where the supply of water is controlled by the greedy king. In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao asked the king of the demons for help…and got the king’s son, Beelzebub, and his assistant, Thief. Together the unlikely trio sets off across the desert, facing dragons, bandits and the deadliest foe of all… the King’s army itself! It’s travel adventure and tank action in this new story from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z!

The manga has also inspired an upcoming video game for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. A recent launch trailer revealed that the game will be released on April 26.
