NETFLIX is plotting a major animated TV series based on two of the world’s most popular video games.
More than 65 million and 18 million players log on to each of the title’s every month – and now they’re about to be transformed into a television show.

Clash of Clans came out in 2012, followed by the release of Clash Royale in 2016.
These mobile gaming titans have dominated iPhone and Android app stores for years.
The pair of games have been downloaded more than four billion times – resulting in hundreds of billions of hours of gameplay.
Now Netflix has confirmed that it “will rally the clan” with an animated TV show based on the games.
The series is now in “early pre-production”, but there’s no firm release date yet.
Supercell, the company behind the games, is directly involved in the production.
The showrunner is set to be Fletcher Moules, who directed existing Clash of Clans animated videos, and has also worked on Entergalactic and Agent Elvis.
He’ll be joined by executive producer Ron Weiner, credited as working on Silicon Valley, 30 Rock, Futurama, and Arrested Development.
“Clash has been a global gaming phenomenon for over a decade,” said Netflix animation boss John Derderian.
“Filled with humor, action, and unforgettable characters perfect for an animated series adaptation.
“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.”
Clash isn’t the first animated series to land on Netflix.
The streaming platform is also home to Arcade, which is based on smash-hit Riot Games title League of Legends.

And we’ve also seen other popular animated series including Devil May Cry, Blue Eye Samurai, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, and Sonic Prime.
Details about the Clash series are being kept secret for now, but Supercell film and TV boss Curtis Lelash has already teased what’s coming.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and this creative team to bring the world of CLASH to life,” Lelash said.
“Think epic battles, immaculate Barbarian mustaches, and the kind of humour 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!”
Netflix is now days away from its major Tudum 2025 live event on May 31, where it will reveal news about its biggest TV shows and movies.
Earlier this month, Netflix teased that it was about to begin a major app makeover for TVs – the first in 10 years.
Netflix kicked off the controversial roll-out of its new look earlier this week.

The streaming giant also recently bagged a deal to stream Sesame Street, with 90 hours of telly plus a whole new season.
But some Amazon Fire TV Stick owners won’t be able to watch it as they lose support for Netflix.
