Netflix might be developing a live-action Pokemon series

New Delhi, 27-July-2021, By IBW Team

Netflix

A new ‘Pokemon’ series is said to be currently in early development at Netflix from ‘Lucifer’ creator Joe Henderson.

According to ANI, as the project is still in its early days, no details are available about the plot. However, the sources suggest that Henderson is attached to write and executive produce the project.

Henderson currently serves as co-showrunner and executive producer on the popular Netflix series ‘Lucifer’, which is preparing to air its sixth and final season at the streamer.

It is also said that the project would be a live-action series akin to the ‘Detective Pikachu’ film starring Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith that was released in 2019.

This move to develop an original Netflix ‘Pokemon’ series comes as the streamer has made itself the home to multiple existing Pokemon shows, including ‘Pokemon: Indigo League’ and ‘Pokemon’ Journeys’ among others.

Netflix has also been making a strong push into anime in recent years, having previously announced its original series based on ‘Fat Cry’, ‘Splinter Cell’, and ‘Terminator’. Netflix has been moving into more live-action adaptations of anime titles as well, including the upcoming ‘Cowboy Bebop’ and ‘One Piece’.

The ‘Pokemon’ franchise as a whole has become a worldwide phenomenon since first launching in 1995. The franchise now encompasses multiple television shows, films, video games, the trading card game, books, manga comics, and much more.

On the live-action front, ‘Detective Pikachu’ proved to be a box office success upon its release. The film grossed over USD 430 million worldwide on a reported budget of USD 150 million.
