Additional executive producers include Michael Bacall, Eunyoung Choi (Science SARU), Edgar Wright (Complete Fiction), Nira Park (Complete Fiction), and Marc Platt Productions’ Marc Platt, Jared LeBoff, and Adam Siegel.
Netflix’s short but sweet plot description: “Scott Pilgrim meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, but learns he must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her. Then things get even more complicated.”
