These are largely credited with ushering in the "sword and sorcery" genre. The character first appeared in a series of short stories in the pages of Weird Tales magazine. Howard created Conan the Barbarian, aka Conan the Cimmerian, in 1932. There was also a short-lived live-action series titled Conan the Adventurer that was released in 1997. On the animated front, Conan the Adventurer and Conan and the Young Warriors both hit the airwaves in the early 90s. Jason Momoa also starred in a reboot of the franchise that was released in 2011. A sequel, Conan the Destroyer, was released in 1984. Most notably, Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed the character in 1982's Conan the Barbarian, which helped turn him into a bonafide action movie star. Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler are set to serve as executive producers on the project.Ĭonan has been brought to the screen several times in the past. As such, plot details are not available yet either. There is also no word on casting at this time, though it sounds like the project is in the early stages of development.
No writer or director is attached to the series yet but a search is underway. For now, they have this first project to focus on.
