Overview
- Netflix acquired exclusive global rights to develop multiple Catan projects across film and TV in live-action, animation, scripted and unscripted formats.
- Producers include Asmodee’s Darren Kyman, Catan Studio’s Pete Fenlon, and co-CEOs Guido and Benjamin Teuber, with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment attached.
- No showrunners, casts or release dates were announced, signaling early development with creative details to come.
- Asmodee cites more than 45 million copies sold in over 40 languages, and Netflix describes a setting of shifting alliances, scarce resources and roaming robbers.
- IndieWire reports the pact does not grant Netflix rights to publish a Catan game app, as the IP joins the company’s growing games-to-screen slate including Arcane, Castlevania and Exploding Kittens.
