Trapped in an immortality without explanation, Andromache of Scythia - 'Andy' - and her comrades ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates worse than death."
Netflix announced development of the movie in on January 3, 2020. Gina Prince-Bythewood is directing. Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne are starring.
The Old Guard is expected to be released in 2020.
