Deadline is reporting that Netflix is developing a live-action Conan the Barbarian series based on the iconic Robert E. Howard-created sword-and-sorcery character.
Deadline’s Nellie Andrews notes, “I hear the project, from Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler’s Pathfinder Media, is the first in a deal between Netflix and Conan Properties International, owned by Malmberg’s Cabinet Entertainment. The pact gives Netflix the exclusive option to acquire rights to the Conan literary library and develop works across TV and film, both live-action and animated.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger played Conan twice in the 80s – Conan the Barbarian and the sequel Conan the Destroyer. Arnold has expressed interest in reprising the role, but I’m sure once they secure a showrunner and writer Netflix is skewering for a younger.
Jason Momoa starred in the 2011 remake, and while Jason looked great as Conan, and the action scenes were pretty epic, the movie felt a bit soulless.
There’s so much to explore in the Conan lore, so definitely curious as to who they’ll cast as the lead.
