Netflix and Supercell have announced that they will bring the Clash video game franchise to the small screen with an animated series set in the world of Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.
The series, which is already in pre-production, will “build upon the mayhem of the games,” according to a press release from Netflix. The streamer also revealed the series’ plot, which will 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 official Clash of Clans social media accounts also got in on the announcement fun. “Sound the horns, raise the banners, and reinforce your village walls — Clash is invading @Netflix!” they shared alongside a cute teaser video featuring the company’s devs playfully announcing the game via a group FaceTime call. “We’re making a new animated series starring your favorite mustachioed Barbarian and his high-pitched, hog-riding friends. Charge!”

The Netflix crew also seems very excited to be finally bringing this game to life in a whole new way. “Clash has been a global gaming phenomenon for over a decade – filled with humor, action, and unforgettable characters perfect for an animated series adaptation,” John Derderian, VP of Animation, said.
“Working with the incredible team at Supercell, Fletcher Moules and Ron Weiner, we’re bringing all the fun, chaos and spirit of the world of Clash to life in a whole new way. We can’t wait for fans – old and new – to experience the mayhem.”
Netflix’s Clash animated series is still in pre-production, so we don’t have a release date quite yet. The streamer has invested heavily in turning video games into shows and movies. Arcane, based on League of Legends, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, based on Cyberpunk 2077, are the standouts, but there are Resident Evil adaptations, Tekken: Bloodline, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, Dragon’s Dogma, Dragon Age: Absolution, Castlevania, and a lot more besides.
