Netflix has traded some serious resources to secure the global rights to \u201cCatan.\u201d<\/p>\n
The streaming giant is now developing projects based on the beloved board game across film and both scripted and unscripted TV, as well as both live-action and animation. All projects will be produced by Darren Kyman from game publisher asmodee, Pete Fenlon of Catan Studios (an asmodee studio), and Guido and Benjamin Teuber, the sons of \u2018Catan\u2019 inventor Klaus Teuber. Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment will also produce.<\/p>\n
More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMillions of people are enjoying \u2018Catan\u2019 since it was created and for many, it remains a gateway to modern board gaming. I\u2019m thrilled to see the game expanding to a larger audience who will discover the richness of its universe, I find it exciting for the future of the brand.\u201d said Thomas Koegler, CEO of asmodee. \u201cIt\u2019s also a testament that board gaming is truly part of pop culture and a popular form of entertainment in everyone\u2019s homes, and I\u2019m delighted to continue asmodee\u2019s relationship with Netflix.\u201d<\/p>\n Klaus Teuber originally released \u201cCatan\u201d in 1995 under the name \u201cThe Settlers of Catan.\u201d Since then, the game has become a phenomenon, selling over 45 million copies worldwide and having been translated into over 40 languages. In the game, players reach the fictional island of Catan, where they must acquire resources and grow their settlements, ultimately acquiring victory points in order to win.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen our father Klaus Teuber first introduced \u2018Catan\u2019 thirty years ago, he imagined an aspirational world where people would gather by trading, building and settling together \u2014 both at the table and beyond it,\u201d said Benjamin and Guido Teuber, co-CEOs of Catan GmbH. \u201cThis collaboration with Netflix marks an exciting new chapter in that journey. For three decades, \u2018Catan\u2019 has connected families and friends around the world. Now, we\u2019re thrilled to see it inspire storytelling on a global stage \u2014 staying true to our father\u2019s vision of creativity, strategy and human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix is developing or has already released a number of projects based on both video and board games. The streamer previously aired the acclaimed animated series \u201cArcane,\u201d which was based on \u201cLeague of Legends,\u201d as well as an animated adapation of \u201cCastlevania.\u201d Most recently, Netflix announced it had ordered a series version of \u201cAssassin\u2019s Creed\u201d<\/a> and a \u201cMonopoly\u201d reality competition series. <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAnyone who has played \u2018Catan\u2019 knows that the intense strategy at the core of the game has endless opportunities for some serious drama,\u201d said Jinny Howe, head of scripted series, US and Canada, for Netflix. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner across series, features, animation, and games to bring this world to life for hardcore \u2018Settlers\u2019 and new fans alike.\u201d<\/p>\n The deal was negotiated by CAA and Goodman Genow on behalf of asmodee and Catan GmbH.<\/p>\n Best of Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Variety’s Newsletter<\/a>.
