Barbaric Series Coming to Netflix, Based on Michael Moreci and Nathan Gooden Comic - Netflix Tudum
A new medieval fantasy drama series is headed your way, and it’s based on Barbaric, the bestselling comic of the same name by writer Michael Moreci and illustrator Nathan Gooden. The show is being produced through A+E Studios.
The story follows a ruthless and crass barbarian who is cursed to only be able to use his violence for good. This sends him, his talking axe, and a young witch on a road of self-discovery and revenge.
A special team has assembled to helm the hefty project about the merciless barbarian. Academy Award nominee Sheldon Turner (Up in the Air, X-Men First Class) will also co-showrun and write and Jennifer Klein (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) will executive produce for 100% Productions. Robert Rovner (Supergirl) will co-showrun alongside Turner. Additional EPs include Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson for A+E Studios, Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Lost, The Witcher), F.J. DeSanto and Damian Wassel for Vault Comics; Sam Claflin, Luke Carroll, and Michael Stevenson for Soft Claw Productions.
No word yet on when this brute with a cause will slash his way onto Netflix, but evildoers should consider themselves warned.
Keep checking Tudum for more updates, straight from the axe’s mouth.
