Clash of Clans Series Brings the Legendary Video Game Franchise to Life

The show is in pre-production.

The legendary video game Clash of Clans is coming to life as an animated series on Netflix.

The streaming platform has selected Fletcher Moules, director of several official Clash of Clans animated shorts, as the showrunner with Ron Weiner from 30 Rock and Silicon Valley joining him as the show’s writer.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and this creative team to bring the world of Clash to life,” Curtis Lelash, the head of film & TV at Supercell, said in a statement. “Think epic battles, immaculate Barbarian mustaches, and the kind of humor our players know and love. They’ve been asking for a Clash series forever, and we’re beyond excited to finally say: it’s happening!”

Clash of Clans Series is said to follow 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 game was released for iOS platforms on 2 August 2012, and on Google Play for Android on 7 October 2013.
