Boom Studios announced that they have signed a first-look deal with Netflix. The deal includes both live action and animated shows. You can see the full press release below.
- Netflix has inked a first-look deal for live action and animated series with BOOM! Studios, the publisher behind best-selling Eisner Award-winning and fan-beloved comic book franchises, including Lumberjanes, Something is Killing the Children, Once & Future, and Mouse Guard.
- BOOM! Studios CEO and Founder Ross Richie and President of Development Stephen Christy will Executive Produce all shows developed through the pact.
- This marks a brand new partnership between the two companies, though Netflix and BOOM! have always been close collaborators, including partnering on the upcoming feature film The Unsound directed by David F. Sandberg, based on the graphic novel by Cullen Bunn and Jack T. Cole. BOOM! also debuted a graphic novel series in 2019 tied into Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
- “BOOM! characters are innately special, they’re colorful, diverse and varied and their stories have the power to ignite something in all of us,” said Brian Wright, Vice President, Original Series at Netflix. “We can’t wait to bring these stories from the page to the screen to fans in every corner of the world.”
- “We generate 20+ new original series a year and are thrilled to partner with a company that is as prolific as we are,” company CEO and Founder Ross Richie said. “BOOM!’s unique partnership model of controlling the media rights to our library benefits creators by positioning them to be packaged with high-end directors, screenwriters, and producers. We’re thrilled to continue our track record of translating our best-selling award-winning library with the best TV talent in the business but now with the undisputed leader of the new streaming era.”
Something is killing the children has been suck a good read so far.
Same with Once & Future. Keep an eye on Folklords as well. That would make a great animated movie.
Black Badge is what I’m hoping for as a Live Action show.. animation movies or shows don’t seem to create the same type of heat that live action shows do. Not sure why.. but that seems to be the norm from past options that actually follow through from media option to actual production.
That would be a good one
Grass Kings would be great. That was a outstanding read.
Feathers would be great……..just because I have a couple sets.
I just came across my #1. It would make a great animated series
