Netflix is set to expand its portfolio of video game adaptations with a new animated series based on Supercell’s popular mobile game Clash of Clans. The show, currently in pre-production, will center on a barbarian navigating absurd politics and assembling a misfit team to defend their village from impending war. Fletcher Moules, known for directing Clash of Clans’ animated content, will serve as showrunner, while Rob Weiner, with writing credits on series such as Futurama and 30 Rock, will contribute to the script. Animation will be handled by ICON Creative Studio, previously involved in projects like Young Jedi Adventures. Since its 2012 debut, Clash of Clans, along with its spinoff Clash Royale, has amassed over 4 billion downloads and 180 billion hours of gameplay—testament to its expansive and engaged fanbase, making it a suitable candidate for a major streaming adaptation.
The upcoming series aims to capture the game’s signature humor, vibrant characters, and epic battles. Supercell’s Curtis Lelash expressed excitement about bringing the Clash universe to Netflix, highlighting the enthusiasm from fans who have long requested a Clash series. The collaboration between Supercell and Netflix marks a significant step in adapting mobile gaming franchises into animated content, following the success of other video game adaptations like Arcane and The Witcher.
While specific details about the series’ plot, cast, and release date remain under wraps, the announcement has generated considerable anticipation among fans of the game and animated series enthusiasts alike. As the project progresses, further information is expected to be released, offering a glimpse into how the beloved world of Clash of Clans will be brought to life on the streaming platform.
