Is Netflix bringing the most popular game of all time, Clash of Clans to the big screen? Here's what we know

Yes, Netflix is bringing the immensely popular mobile game Clash of Clans to the big screens as an animated series. The game's developer, Supercell, has officially collaborated with Netflix to adapt both Clash of Clans and its spinoff, Clash Royale, into a new animated show, per reports. Both shows are currently in pre-production.

This announcement marks a major move in the growing trend of turning video games into full-scale TV entertainment, and Clash of Clans is the latest global gaming phenomenon to make that leap. Read on to know more about the upcoming show based on one of the most popular games of all time.

Here is what we know about the show based on Clash of Clans on Netflix

The series is expected to follow a character based on the iconic Barabarian from the game, who must gather a group of unlikely allies and defend their village from thieves. He must deal with the over-the-top politics of war. So it’s part action, part comedy — leaning into the game’s cartoonish, chaotic world while adding character depth and story.

The show has roped in Fletcher Moules to serve as the showrunner. He directed many Clash of Clans shorts for YouTube, appreciated by fans. This ensures that he understands the tone and characters of the game well. Moreover, there is Ron Weiner as the lead writer. He is the one who has written several sharp, clever comedies like 30 Rock, Silicon Valley, Futurama, etc.

The plan is to make the show in a satirical tone with smart humor, which can appeal to kids and fans of the game alike, but also to adults who appreciate a more sophisticated animated comedy style. John Derderian, the vice president of animated series on Netflix, stated,

“Clash has been a global gaming phenomenon for over a decade — filled with humor, action, and unforgettable characters perfect for an animated series adaptation.”

He also expressed his excitement for the show and how he can't wait to show people this creation. He added,

“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.”
