It’s been a couple of years since we last heard anything about a Conan the Barbarian TV series, but now comes word that Conan will be getting his own show at Netflix.
Previously, Amazon was developing a Conan the Barbarian TV show, but that project ended up being scrapped. Now, with the rights have lapsed once more, Deadline is reporting that Netflix has opted to pick up the rights to develop its own Conan offering.
In addition to now starting work on a live-action Conan the Barbarian series, this agreement between Netflix and Conan Properties International also allows the on-demand streaming service to develop other Conan shows or movies in either a live-action or animated setting.
Creator Robert E. Howard’s adventures for the Conan character began back in 1932, initially published as part of Weird Tales. In the years since, we’ve seen several prior TV outings, games, and a whole host of other takes on the famed Cimmerian warrior, most notably with the Arnold Schwarzenegger-headlined Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer and then 2011’s Jason Momoa-headlined movie reboot.
As ever, expect more on Netflix’s Conan series as it continues to develop.
