Looks good, they didn't announced the season tho. Even if there's still a possibility that it could be in summer, pretty sure its going to be in Fall 2017.

Characters representing the Chinese Zodiac...

I'm not familiar with this series (only heard of it recently) but I'm guessing it'll probably be twisted versions of them. PV should come out soon.

Why does it look like I've seen this before...jokes aside, the visual looks weird and the battle royale premise seems overdone at this point. I'm not sure what else they have in store so it'll probably be a pass from me.

Edit: Yeah def a dude when I gave it a closer look.

The staff in here looks good as far as I am concerned... although that cover. Um... Okay, I won't go and ask. And I won't judge the show by the cover either.
