The series will stream on the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar on May 17. Talking about the exciting upcoming web series, the filmmaker SS Rajamouli said, 'The world of Baahubali is vast, and the film franchise was the perfect introduction to the same. However, there's so much more to explore, and that's where Baahubali: Crown of Blood comes into the picture. This story will reveal for the first time many unknown twists in the lives of Baahubali and Bhallaladeva and a dark secret long forgotten as the two brothers must save Mahishmati.'

Previously, the makers had released a similar animated series called 'Baahubali: The Lost Legends' back in 2017 and 2018. The director also talked about this new approach to animated storytelling with established storylines. Rajamouli stated, 'We are extremely happy to introduce this new chapter to Baahu's fans and to bring this story in an animated format, which brings a new, exciting look to the world of Baahubali. Arka Mediaworks and I are delighted to collaborate with Sharad Devarajan, Disney+ Hotstar, and Graphic India as we reshape Indian animation for a broader audience beyond kids.'

Prabhas, the lead actor for the original Baahubali films, shared his excitement about the upcoming project. He said, 'It's an exciting time that Baahubali and Bhallaladeva are going to come together in this unseen chapter of Baahubali's journey. Baahubali: Crown of Blood is a chapter that takes place before the story in the film franchise. It's an important chapter in Baahu's and Bhalla's lives. It's wonderful that S.S. Rajamouli, Sharad Devarajan, Disney+ Hotstar, Arka Mediaworks, and Graphic India are bringing this story to the world through this animated format. I cannot wait to watch this new chapter in Baahubali's journey.'
