There's been talk a new Conan the Barbarian movie for quite some time now, but it looks like Robert E. Howard's Cimmerian warrior might be making his way to the small screen first. More past the jump...
We haven't heard anything about Arnold Schwarzenegger's rumored Conan the Barbarian revival in a while, but we do have some exciting news about Robert E. Howard's hero making his way to the small screen.
Deadline reports that there's a new Conan TV series in the works at Amazon from from Colony co-creator Ryan Condal, Game of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik, Fargo and The Handmaid’s Tale executive producer Warren Littlefield, Pathfinder Media and Endeavor Content.
The show will reportedly take the character back "to his literary origins", and is described as follows:
Driven out of his tribal homelands, Conan wanders the mysterious and treacherous world of civilization where he searches for purpose in a place that rejects him as a mindless savage.
The 2011 Conan reboot starring Jason Momoa was not well received, but this TV adaptation has some serious talent behind it and will hopefully do Howard's iconic creation justice.
