‘Clash of Clans’ Animated Series Ordered at Netflix

A “Clash of Clans” animated series has been greenlit at Netflix, Variety has learned.

Titled “Clash,” the 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 show is said to be set in the world of Supercell’s “Clash of Clans” and “Clash Royale.” Pre-production is now underway.

Fletcher Moules will serve as showrunner, with Ron Weiner (“Arrested Development,” “Futurama”) serving as head writer. Moules previously worked with Supercell on “Clash of Clans” animated videos for YouTube, which have amassed hundreds of millions of views. ICON Creative Studio will lead animation on the Netflix series.

The mobile game “Clash of Clans” originally launched in 2012, while “Clash Royale” debuted in 2016. Since then, the two games of have remained wildly popular. They have been downloaded over four billion times with 180 billion hours of gameplay.

This is the latest animated series order for Netflix in the past few weeks. Previously, the streamer announced the adult animated comedy “Mating Season.” That show hails from the same team behind “Big Mouth,” with the latter series prepping its eighth and final season.

Other Netflix animated shows in the works include “Long Story Short” from “BoJack Horseman” creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and others from the “BoJack” team. “Long Story Short” recently set its main cast, which includes Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, and Nicole Byer. The show will drop on Netflix on Aug. 22.
