The series follows a determined yet inexperienced Barbarian who must unite a band of unlikely heroes to defend their village, all while navigating the absurd and comical politics of war. Set in the expansive and humorous universe shared by the two games, Clash aims to bring the franchise’s fan-favorite characters and whimsical battles to life.
Originally released in 2012 and 2016 respectively, Clash of Clans and Clash Royale have remained wildly popular. Together, they have been downloaded more than four billion times, with players logging over 180 billion hours of gameplay.
Fletcher Moules, who previously directed Clash of Clans animated videos for YouTube—amassing hundreds of millions of views—will serve as showrunner. Ron Weiner, known for his work on Futurama and Arrested Development, joins the team as head writer. Animation for the series will be produced by ICON Creative Studio.
This order adds to Netflix’s growing list of animated projects. The streamer recently announced Mating Season, an adult animated comedy from the creators of Big Mouth, which is nearing its eighth and final season. Netflix is also preparing to launch Long Story Short, a new series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, featuring voice talents such as Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, and Nicole Byer. That show is set to premiere on August 22.
