Weeks ago during its animation showcase highlighting its future animated shows, Netflix revealed a first look at Blue Eye Samurai. Unlike most of what was shown during that event, the upcoming series is an original property from co-creators Amber Noizumi and Logan writer Michael Green, and it’s just received a new trailer ahead of its release in early November.

Blue Eye Samurai focuses on Mizu (Maya Erskine), a biracial woman looking to take revenge on her biological father, Abijah Fowler (Kenneth Branagh). After spending years of her life training to become an expert swordfighter, Mizu finally sets out to find him so she can run him through with her blade.
