Netflix Orders ‘Barbaric’ TV Adaptation Based on Vault Comic Series
Netflix has greenlit the series adaptation of the Vault Comics property “Barbaric” created by Mike Moreci and Nathan Gooden and edited by Adrian Wassel.
The announcement was made during Netflix’s upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday in New York. The show was first reported to be in development at the streamer in 2024. It was originally reported that Sam Claflin and Patrick Stewart were to star in the series, but talent deals are not currently finalized.
The official logline for the show states, “A ruthless and crass barbarian is cursed to only use his violence only for good, which sends him, his talking axe and a young witch on a road of self discovery, redemption and revenge.”
Sheldon Turner (“Up In The Air,” “X-Men First Class,” “Straight Outta Compton”) will write, executive produce, and co-showrun, with Jennifer Klein (“Armageddon,” “Pearl Harbor”) for 100% Productions.
