According to Netflix, the show called Clash will bring both Clash of Clans and Clash Royale worlds together for a new series that builds "upon the mayhem of the games." It will follow "a determined, but over his head, Barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war."
Fletcher Moules, who worked on Entergalactic, will serve as showrunner. Futurama's Ron Weiner will be penning the series. Moules has previously collaborated with Supercell on a Clash of Clans animated short for YouTube, which has racked up hundreds of millions of views. Animation will be handled by ICON Creative Studio.
Curtis Lelash, head of Film & TV at the Helsinki-based developer, shared his excitement about the project: “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and this incredible creative team to bring the world of Clash to life. Think epic battles, immaculate Barbarian mustaches, and the kind of humor our players know and love. Fans have been asking for a Clash series for years, and we’re beyond excited to finally say: it’s happening!”
