Conan the Barbarian is coming to Netflix…and we don’t mean its movie archive! Rather, the streaming giant is moving forward with a live-action television series adapting the swords, sorcery and loincloths-laden mythos created by Robert E. Howard, famously depicted as comic book art from Barry Windsor-Smith and cemented in history as portrayed onscreen by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Pathfinder Media, of Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler, have conceived the Conan television project, which has been put into development by Netflix, according to Deadline. The project stems from a deal between Netflix and IP owner Conan Properties International, yielding the streaming giant exclusive rights to the multimedia archives—be it books, television and films—to adapt as new works. Indeed, it’s a strategy that mirrors widely-encompassing exclusive deals Netflix made in recent years to produce serial adaptations of author Roald Dahl’s work, and comic book titles under Mark Millar’s Millarworld branding.

With the deal now set, the Netflix Conan the Barbarian television project will embark on a search for a writer/showrunner to creatively shape the series.

Now that Vikings sadly seems to go downhill with it's current season, this might be a good replacement / addition.


Also would be cool if Schwarzenegger had a cameo. Very Happy

A Conan tv-series could be potentially brilliant, but there's a huge risk it's going to be all tits & ass without content.
The 80s movie with Arnold at his physical prime is still one of my favorite fantasy movies. The acting isn't all that great (quite an understatement even Very Happy ), but everything else more than makes up for it. Too bad we never got a proper sequel.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

@Il_Padrino

Dat film was OK but I didn't like Arnold as Conan.He looked too dumb, he was too slow, he was no Conan, just some gorilla-tank with a ridiculous facial expression. ..

Surprisingly Momoa was much closer to Conan from the books (at this age) than Arnold. It's a shame the last film was kinda shitty (the second half, the first half was actually good).

It looks like Amazon cancelled it and Netflix is doing it's own version.


Tbh I don't think Netlix will manage to deliver a good Conan TV show. I wish Amazon hadn't cancelled it but I guess they didn't want a show that would directly compete with their LotR series.

How would it compete?

This isn't old school tv, where different shows compete with each other, because they're in the same time slot, lol...
