A series we didn’t expect to get a dub in general is now on track for a dubcast from HIDIVE with the Sentai Filmworks Series Revue Starlight. The streaming service has set an August 4th, 2018 debut for the first episode with new episodes added every Saturday for members. Availability for it is pretty good as it’s open to viewers in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland and other select territories.
Cast and production information will be revealed later.
Tomohiro Furukawa directed the show based on the series composition by Tatsuto Higuchi. Hiroyuki Saita is on board with the character designs while Kinema Citrus will be handling the animation production.

Plot concept: Starlight—this is “Revue” of song and dance that’s loved worldwide. Karen and Hikari, who caught their hearts by the stage, made promise to each other when they were young. “Let’s stand on that stage together one day, for sure!” Time passes, and now Karen Aijou is 16 years old, who continues her lessons enthusiastically to keep her promise. The one who transferred to her school is Hikari Kagura, who was separated when they were young. The destiny starts to move with the reunion, and a mysterious audition starts.
“Do you want to be a top star?”
The person who passed the audition gets to be the lone top star that can get to shine. The only one that can get it is the “Revue” who stands above the battle royal stage. Karen and Hikari, as well as the chosen stage girls, participate to a mysterious Revue to make their dreams come true. Shining dream. Burning passion. Dreams that cannot give up to others. “Even if I have to fight against her!—”
Revue Starlight that mixes comedy and tragedy—starts now!
