Amazon developing Conan TV series

February 7, 2018 by Gary Collinson

It looks like Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian is heading to the small screen, with Deadline reporting that Amazon is in development on a small screen adaptation from Ryan Condal (Colony), Miguel Sapochnik (Game of Thrones) and Warren Littlefield (The Handmaid’s Tale).

Colony co-creator Condal has created and written the project, which is said to retell the character’s story “via a return to his literary origins” and sees Conan wandering the mysterious and treacherous world of civilization in search of a purpose after being driven out of his tribal homelands.

Conan has been adapted for the screen on a number of occasions, most notably in 1982’s Conan the Barbarian and 1984’s Conan the Destroyer, where he was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (who has also been attached to a long-gestating sequel entitled The Legend of Conan). Jason Momoa also played in the character in the 2011 reboot Conan the Barbarian, while there has also been two animated series – Conan the Adventurer and Conan and the Young Warriors, as well as a short-lived live action series Conan the Adventurer starring Ralf Moller.
