In addition to the live action King Conan film project that’s set to feature the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Wrap reports that a Conan animated series is also in the works.
“Primal” creator Genndy Tartakovsky is developing a “Conan the Barbarian” animated series for Cartoon Network Studios and Prime Video, The Wrap exclusively reports!
The project’s official title? Conan the Barbarian: Queen of the Black Coast.
Here’s the official logline for the Conan animated series…
“After finding love in the pirate queen, Bêlit, a battle-hardened Conan defies gods, fate and even death to save her from a dark sorcery that threatens to destroy everything.”
Genndy Tartakovsky will serve as the series’ executive producer and showrunner.
The Wrap notes in their report, “Conan will mark the first time that Tartakovsky has worked with a preexisting IP since his Clone Wars micro-series for Lucasfilm back in 2003.”
Tartakovsky’s own original animated series “Primal” is of course heavily inspired by the work of Robert E. Howard, who created the Conan the Barbarian character back in the 1930s.
