According to Bleeding Cool, X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer is developing an R-rated (well, that'd be TV-MA) Red Sonja series for television along with rights holder Luke Lieberman and Jason Taylor, via Singer’s production company Bad Hat Harry. They don't mention which network it'll be for, but if the show is indeed going for a full-on R rating with blood, guts and sword 'n sorcery sex, then that definitely narrows it down some. HBO? Showtime? Netflix, perhaps?
The character is probably best known from the 1985 movie with Brigette Nielson and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but more recently she's featured in a very successful Dynamite Entertainment comic book series, which has crossed over with Conan The Barbarian.
Don't take this as gospel just yet, but if it does turn out to be on the level, who could you see playing Red Sonja on the small screen? Sound off below.
