Development

 * When asked about the possibility of anime-style animation in the new series, Tommy Andreasen simply replied, "Possible? Most things are possible. Some are unlikely. I assume this response was useless to you. That’s what ‘possible’ infers."

Speculation

 * As it is being advertised as a new series, it is possible that there will be a time skip following the end of Crystalized and the main six Ninja will no longer be a part of the main ensemble cast.
 * As of the end of Crystalized, the original four Ninja have lost their Elemental Powers, which means that the new series could be about their successors inheriting them.
 * Set leaks reveal the names of three new characters: Ras, Sora, and Arin. It's possible that these are the Ninja's descendants or possibly the inheritors of their Elemental power.
 * The description of the series says that they are heroes of the future, possibly the successors of the Ninja after the time skip.
 * Season description talks about enemies that transcend time, possibly in reference to the Time Twins.

Continuity
