The second season of the American version of the Japanese anime "Voltron" is set to arrive January next year.

Following the announcement that Netflix's "Voltron" reboot will have a second season, fans have patiently waited for the announcement of its official release date. Now, it has finally been confirmed that "Voltron" season 2 will start airing its all-new episodes starting January 2017.

Netflix and Dream Works' version of the Japanese anime is executive-produced by "Legend of Korra" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender's" Joaquim Dos Santos.

"Voltron" follows the lives of five teenagers who drive their own lion robots which form a gigantic robot called Voltron. The upcoming reboot of the series will feature the voices of Kimberly Brooks, Rhys Darby, Josh Keaton, Tyler Labine, Jeremy Shada, Bex Taylor-Klaus and Steven Yeun as Princess Allura, Coran, Shiro, Hunk, Lance, Pidge and Keith, respectively.

The anime series first aired in 1984 and has since then been a part of every '80's kid's TV viewing habit. It is known for its striking resemblance with another popular Japanese anime, "Voltes V," which aired a decade earlier.

While the first season of Netflix and Dream Works' reboot was well-received by both critics and the viewing public, it remains to be known if the upcoming series will get the same favorable response as the first. About a decade after the first series arrived, "Voltron: The Third Dimension" was released. After another 10 years, the anime was once again remade on Nickelodeon, but failed to sit well with the viewers.
