Is this a show or a film? A show sounds like a good shout as there was far too much that had to be exercised from the 7 books to make it work in one film. Another abridged telling as a film seems pointless to me.
“Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an upcoming American-Canadian-Japanese anime series developed by Bryan Lee O'Malley and BenDavid Grabinski for Netflix. The series is based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels written and drawn by O'Malley, with the cast of the 2010 film adaptation reprising their roles.”

So Edgar Wright isn't attached to it at all? That's a shame. I really enjoyed how his visual style worked for the movie (even if the movie is a very trimmed-down version of the story)
Edit: feel free to downvote me, I asked a question without watching the video in the OP
It’s right in the trailer, he’s the EP. So it’s the movie retcon-ed to be more faithful to the books, from what I can tell.
Oh nice! Yeah sorry I haven't been able to watch it yet
