Danganronpa TV Copyright Filing With Blumhouse Uncovered
A US Copyright Office listing pairs Spike Chunsoft with Blumhouse TV LLC for a Danganronpa show, but it does not confirm production is underway.
A copyright listing linking Spike Chunsoft and Blumhouse TV LLC for a Danganronpa TV show has been uncovered, according to gamesradar.com. A separate filing for a "Short Form Option" was also lodged at the US Copyright Office in 2024.
The record found is a "Date of Execution" listing between the two companies. The same filing does not confirm that a Danganronpa TV show is in production.
Because Blumhouse holds the rights for an indefinite period, the project could still be greenlit at a later date. No broadcaster, streaming platform or release window was named in the listing.
Danganronpa, created by Kazutaka Kodaka, is a murder-mystery franchise built around the bear character Monokuma and his killing game. The series has been largely dormant for a while.
It is set to return with Danganronpa 2x2, a remake of the second game that also adds a new scenario.
