Netflix is turning mobile blockbuster Clash of Clans into an animated series
In the great big 'ol list of games that are getting an adaptation you can now add Clash of Clans to the list. Supercell's mobile strategy games Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, two of the biggest, highest grossing games in the world, will serve as the foundation for a new animated series at Netflix. According to Netflix, the show's premise features, 'a determined but in-over-his-head barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war.' The streaming platform has selected Fletcher Moules, director of several official Clash of Clan s animated shorts, as the showrunner with Ron Weiner from 30 Rock and Silicon Valley joining him as the show's game adaptations are all the rage in Hollywood lately, aided by the critical success of shows like The Last of Us and Fallout. Netflix itself has produced several successful adaptations including Arcane: A League of Legends Story and Castlevania making for an interesting synergy with the company's own gaming offerings. And while Netflix Games offers a robust selection of casual and traditional games to play for free via subscription, Clash of Clans itself is not one of them.
