Popular board game Catan is getting a Netflix adaptation, as Netflix has announced that it is “developing a slate of scripted and unscripted projects” through its partnership with Asmodee and Catan Studio. Catan was created by the late Klaus Teuber in 1995, and his sons Guido and Benjamin Teuber will also be involved in these projects.
“Millions of people [have been] enjoying Catan since it was created, and for many it remains a gateway to modern board gaming. I’m 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,” Asmodee CEO Thomas Koegler said in a press statement. “It’s also a testament that board gaming is truly part of pop culture and a popular form of entertainment in everyone’s homes, and I’m delighted to continue Asmodee’s relationship with Netflix.”
