Netflix is leveling up its game adaptations, this time transforming Supercell’s Clash of Clans into an animated series. With an energetic creative team and a mission to capture the game’s chaotic, comedic flair, could this be Netflix’s next streaming sensation?
After making headlines with hits like Arcane and stirring debate with Tomb Raider and Devil May Cry, Netflix is now taking on the world of mobile strategy. The newly announced Clash of Clans animated series promises a mash-up of action, laughs, and monster-battling madness, aiming to entertain both diehard fans and newcomers alike.

Clash of Clans may not dominate the news cycle like it once did, but Supercell’s smash-hit mobile game still boasts a massive, dedicated community. Now, Netflix is set to reimagine the game’s slapstick universe and army-assembling antics as animated television, taking the franchise in a bold new direction.
Steering the project is Fletcher Moules, who’s no stranger to Clash fans thanks to his work on Supercell’s animated shorts. He’s joined by Ron Weiner, a comedy veteran known for his work on Futurama. Animation duties go to ICON Creative Studio, whose signature style is a perfect fit for the game’s colorful chaos.
The plot centers on a hapless Barbarian as he rallies a ragtag crew to save his village from monstrous threats. Netflix’s John Derderian says, “Clash is a global phenomenon, filled with humor, action, and unforgettable characters. We’re bringing that fun, chaos, and unique spirit to animation like never before.” It’s a bold claim, especially given the challenges game-to-TV adaptations often face.
Supercell’s Curtis Lelash shares the excitement: “Picture epic battles, mustachioed Barbarians, and the offbeat humor our players love. Fans have been clamoring for a Clash series for years, and now it’s finally happening!” While spirits are high, turning the game’s bite-sized, slapstick gameplay into compelling TV will be its own kind of battle.
Unlike recent narrative-heavy adaptations like Arcane or Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Clash of Clans will focus on character-driven humor and action, not deep lore. With Moules at the helm and Weiner’s knack for comedy, there’s real potential for a fun, irreverent series—if they can strike the right balance between wild antics and memorable storytelling. For now, fans will have to wait for a trailer to see if this adaptation is ready for battle.
TL;DR: Netflix is bringing Clash of Clans to the small screen as an animated comedy-action series, with Fletcher Moules and Ron Weiner at the helm. The show aims to capture the game’s wild spirit—release date still TBA.
