Netflix released a title treatment teaser to the forthcoming superhero drama Jupiter’s Legacy to announce that the series adaptation of the popular graphic novels by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely will land on the streamer May 7.

The eight-episode series is an epic superhero drama that spans decades and navigates the complex dynamics of family, power, and loyalty. After nearly a century of keeping mankind safe, the world’s first generation of superheroes must look to their children to continue the legacy. But tensions rise as the young superheroes, hungry to prove their worth, struggle to live up to their parents’ legendary
public reputations — and exacting personal standards.
