Fifteen years after the game first launched, Minecraft is getting a new animated series on Netflix. The streamer announced that it’s making a show that will “feature an original story with new characters, showing the world of Minecraft in a new light.” No other details were announced, but the production is being helmed by WildBrain Studios, which previously made adaptations like Sonic Prime and Ninjago. The series is listed as “coming soon” but doesn’t currently have a date.

Netflix is making an animated Minecraft show
Netflix is partnering with Mojang to create an animated series based on Minecraft, which will join the live-action movie based on the game.


The news comes amidst a gold rush of video game adaptations. Blockbusters like The Last of Us and Fallout have been turned into successful shows, Mario and Sonic star in hit movies, and adaptations of everything from Among Us to Death Stranding to Stray are in the works. Netflix has been particularly aggressive in the space, with projects based on Castlevania, Dota 2, Gears of War, Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, Mega Man, and many others. (The service was previously home to the interactive series Minecraft: Story Mode as well.)
This also isn’t the only adaptation of Minecraft in development: a live-action movie starring Jack Black is slated to hit theaters next year.
