'Vixen' News: Official Trailer Released for CW Seed Animated Series [VIDEO]

The DC television universe is going to have to make room for a brand new animated series that follow the exploits of the superheroine Vixen.

This will be part of the CW's Seed network and will also be the first animated series on the DC lineup.

The trailer was recently released for the show and highlights the shared universe it has with CW series' 'The Flash,' and 'Arrow.' The lead actors from both those series will serve as supporting voice actors for the show, along with Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, and Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon. Megalyn Echikunwoke will voice the lead character Mari McCabe.

"This is essentially a coming-of-age story," Marc Guggenheim told TV Guide Magazine. "I love that we get to expand the universe. We started off with Arrow, which is very grounded, then The Flash introduced the concept of superpowers to this universe, and now Vixen will introduced the concept of magic. We're continuing to building and expand the tapestry that we have to play with."

Here's the synopsis:

"Originally from Africa, Mari McCabe's parents were killed by local greed, corruption, and wanton violence. But the orphaned Mari refuses to succumb to the terrors surrounding her.

"Inheriting her family's Tantu Totem, Mari can access the powers of animals - anything from the super-strength of a gorilla to the speed of a cheetah. As Vixen, she fights valiantly to protect the world from threats like those that claimed her family."

'Vixen plans to air on CW Seed on August 25.
