Netflix Buys Rights to Adapt 'Catan' for Film, Series and More

The streamer is framing the board game’s negotiation-driven tension as rich dramatic material, with Klaus Teuber’s sons attached as producers.

Overview

  • Netflix announced the acquisition on X and said the Catan universe will be developed across films, series and other formats, including live-action and animation.
  • Asmodée Editions, which holds worldwide rights for English-language Catan content, confirmed the deal and said two of its managers will help oversee development.
  • Guido and Benjamin Teuber, sons of Catan creator Klaus Teuber, are involved as producers and development leads on the planned projects.
  • Planned output includes both scripted productions and reality formats, while specific creative teams, timelines and release dates have not been disclosed.
  • Created in 1995, the game has been translated into more than 40 languages and became a global hit; Klaus Teuber died in 2023 at age 70.
