Netflix Secures Exclusive Global Rights to Adapt 'Catan' Across Film and TV

The streamer partners with the game's stewards to develop a wide slate spanning films, series, animation and unscripted formats.

Overview

  • Netflix and Asmodee announced a deal granting the streamer exclusive worldwide screen rights to the 1995 Klaus Teuber board game.
  • Projects in development include live-action and animated films, scripted series and unscripted titles set in the world of Catan.
  • Producers attached include Darren Kyman (Asmodee), Pete Fenlon (Catan Studio), Guido and Benjamin Teuber, and Roy Lee (Vertigo Entertainment).
  • Coverage cites more than 45 million copies sold and translations into 40-plus languages, underscoring the brand’s global reach.
  • Deadline reports the pact includes video games, while IndieWire reports gaming rights are not part of the deal, and no release dates were announced after a prior 2015 screen effort yielded no project.
