The series, which is set for release on Netflix in 2025, is directed by Christophe Ferreria, known for his character design and animation work on films and series like Napping Princess, Eden and Nori no Ongaku-dan.
Leviathan is based on the book by Scott Westerfeld and illustrated by Keith Thompson. The first of a trilogy, the novel is set in an alternate universe in which World War I is fought with mechnized machines and genetically engineered creatures.
Other staff revealed include:

Here’s the official description for the Leviathan books:
It is the cusp of World War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.
Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides of the war. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure….One that will change both their lives forever.
