"Announced via a post on Tudum, Netflix is gearing up to bring the 1995 tabletop game centered on the thrills of bartering and colonizing to film and TV via a partnership with tabletop publisher Asmodee. The streaming service isn't just investing in a single project, but rather "a slate of scripted and unscripted projects inspired by the hit board game.""
"We knew landing this deal would be as game-changing as a well-placed settlement, so we decided to pool our resources across series, features, animation, and games and show Asmodee the full power of Netflix when we work together. Hardcore "Settlers" are going to lose their minds, and new fans will finally learn just how important a sheep trade can be."
Netflix acquired rights to adapt the 1995 tabletop game Catan into film and television in partnership with publisher Asmodee. The deal covers a slate of scripted and unscripted projects spanning series, feature films, animation, and games. The announcement compared landing the deal to placing a well-placed settlement and emphasized pooling resources across formats. The projects aim to engage longtime Settlers players while introducing Catan to new audiences. Some responses expressed interest in an animated rules guide to simplify gameplay. Other suggested concepts include niche adaptations, such as cottagecore romance centered on sheep farmers and their Australian Shepherd.
