In recent times, every franchise under the sun appears to be receiving a Netflix adaptation. With source material seemingly running low, there's been a sudden shift towards video games. The Castlevania animated series already has a season up on the digital streaming service and now it looks like Diablo could be the next in line to receive the same treatment.
Variety reports this Diablo animated series would be added to Netflix’s original programming line-up in the near future. This is based on a tweet from Boom! Studios founder Andrew Cosby, who said he was in final talks to write and show-run a Diablo series by Activision and Netflix. This tweet has since been deleted. Besides this, there’s currently no other information about the animation. As Variety notes, Cosby is the writer behind the Hellboy film reboot, suggesting he is a suitable pick for Diablo.
This isn’t the only Diablo news to make headlines in recent times - with Blizzard announcing the Diablo III Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch not long ago. This package contains all existing updates and is due out later this year on 2nd November.

I wonder if it's going to be as dark as the games, if it's real
slow news WEEK huh?
@boop22 Hey I find this interesting at least.
METROID NETFLIX ANIMATED SERIES PLEASE
Now if only Netflix can unleash their service on switch ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
@iLikeUrAttitude am i asking
@boop22 bad week huh? hug
Back on topic. This could potentially be good, there’s a fair bit of lore to build around. Biggest worry I have is what visual style they decide to go with.
@SheldonRandoms we can only hope
I don't know about this, I would be surprised if Blizzard would want to do a TV show, movie etc. with any of there IPS after how bad Warcraft did. After all Warcraft is their main.
Waiting for this since I saw the for that time phenomenal cutscenes of Diablo 2
(Even have them on DVD)
Ever since I saw what they did with the Castlevania series on Netflix, I've been intrigued to see other game to series adaptations. Also, Netflix has been killing it lately with their originals, so here's to hoping it's gonna be good.
I hope this is true! If it's going to happen, it'll be announced at Blizzcon.
Can't wait for the episode with the butcher...the game was easy until i run into him.
If it's based on diablo II Yeah why not.
@Jeaz feelin better now that ace attorney is coming to switch
"Nintendo News"
I hope it's even more violent than Castlevania.
What is this going to be based on? Actually hyped if it's gonna be based on Diablo 2!!
If only we could watch it on the switch..
Bring Deckard Cain into the fold, and I am all in! His stories in both Diablo 2 and even his smaller part in Diablo 3 was easily my favorite bits of storyline. If he is in it, I will watch it. Otherwise I might be disappointed.
I hope we get to hear "AHH, FRESH MEAT"
