The official website for the 2004 television anime series Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor has confirmed that a new anime has been green-lit for the previously announced Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor: Heaven and Earth follow-up project. Fafner character designer Hisashi Hirai is returning to work on the new anime along with the animators at Xebec. Tow Ubukata is credited with the scriptwriting.

The official website for the Starchild musical group Angela had already announced last month that the group will perform the theme song for this project.

Geneon released the original 2004 Fafner anime series in North America in 2005. Digital Manga Publishing released the novel version of Fafner in 2008.
