UK rock band The Struts performed the anime’s OP theme song entitled “Pegasus Seiya”. The said song is an English cover version of Saint Seiya’s first OP theme song, “Pegasus Fantasy”, which was used for the first anime adaptation of the series that ran from 1986 to 1989. “Pegasus Fantasy” was originally performed by Japanese rock band MAKE-UP.

Netflix describes the animé’s story as such:

“Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya follows modern day adventures of young warriors called “Knights”, who are sworn protectors of the reincarnated Greek goddess Athena. Each Knights wears a powerful armor based on their chosen zodiac constellation, and are called Knights of the Zodiac. They aid Athena in her battle against powerful Olympian gods who are bent on destroying the humankind.”

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac is animated by Toei Animation under the direction of Yoshiharu Ashino (CROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon). Besides being the producer, Eugene Son is also the story editor and head writer. Character design is done by Terumi Nishii (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable), while armor design is done by Takashi Okazaki (Summer Wars).
