Tartakovsky Revives Conan in New Animated Series
25 Jun
Summary
- Genndy Tartakovsky is developing a new Conan animated series.
- The series will be for Cartoon Network and Prime Video.
- Animatics are expected to be showcased next year.
Genndy Tartakovsky, the acclaimed creator behind Samurai Jack and Primal, is set to bring Conan the Barbarian to animated life. The new series is in early development, with Tartakovsky aiming to reveal animatics by next year. This project signifies his return to working with established intellectual property, a departure since his work on the 2D Clone Wars cartoon.
The new Conan animated series will be a joint venture between Cartoon Network and Prime Video. The narrative focuses on a battle-hardened Conan, who defies gods and fate to save his love, the pirate queen Bêlit, from a dark sorcery.
Conan the Barbarian, originally a literary creation from Robert E. Howard in 1932, gained widespread fame with the 1982 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Although the franchise has seen various adaptations, Tartakovsky's involvement signals a potential revival for the iconic fantasy hero.
