Mineko

Mineko (released as Mineko: Rebooted for season 1, Mineko: Revolution for season 2 and Mineko: Rebellion for season 3) is an upcoming American anime-influenced science fiction television series that will stream on Peacock for seasons 1 and 2, with Netflix taking over for season 3. It serves as a dark reboot to the 1999 film, Kit Mineko, and the TV series, Adventures of Kit Mineko, which in turn is based on the character created by Matt Froese. Like the original, the story follows the titular character who, after being injured in an explosion that occurred, gains a new arm, but in this series, she teams up with a teenage assassin to find who tried to kill them.

Plot
In the future, Kit Mineko was an ordinary girl who, after being injured in an explosion that occurred out of nowhere, gets repaired by scientists and gained a new arm by them. As she tries to get used to her new arm, she finds an teenage girl who, after being killed in a similar explosion, was repaired and programmed to be an assassin by the enemy forces, but she rejected the people who rebuilt her prior to the events of the reboot, thus making her a renegade. Initially rivals, the two must work together to stop the leader of the forces, a tyrannical overlord who operates from within the city, from destroying their homeworld.
