Overview
- The deal covers a slate spanning live-action and animated films, scripted series, unscripted projects, and video games based on the board game created by Klaus Teuber in 1995.
- Producers include Darren Kyman (Asmodee), Pete Fenlon (Catan Studio), and Guido and Benjamin Teuber, with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment also attached.
- CAA and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher negotiated the agreement on behalf of Asmodee and Catan GmbH, extending an existing Netflix–Asmodee partnership.
- No release dates were announced as development begins; coverage notes this would be the first on-screen narrative set on the island of Catan after earlier attempts failed to materialize.
- Catan has sold over 45 million copies in more than 40 languages, and industry commentary highlights both the adaptation challenge of its player-driven mechanics and criticism over settler-colonial readings.
