Crom has finally answered our prayers.
Genndy Tartakovsky—the visionary creator behind Primal, Samurai Jack, and the legendary 2003 Star Wars: Clone Wars series—is officially developing an animated Conan the Barbarian series for Prime Video and Cartoon Network Studios.
And honestly? There may not be a better filmmaker alive for the job.
In this video, Nick and Kyle break down everything we currently know about the new series, including its early development, its connection to Robert E. Howard’s classic story Queen of the Black Coast, and why Tartakovsky’s work on Primal proves that he understands brutal sword-and-sorcery storytelling better than almost anyone.
We also explore:
Why Primal already feels like a spiritual Conan adaptation
Conan’s relationship with the pirate queen Bêlit
Why Queen of the Black Coast is one of Conan’s most emotional stories
Conan’s theology of Crom, strength, fate, and self-reliance
How Tartakovsky’s visual storytelling could bring the Hyborian Age to life
Whether the series will remain faithful to Robert E. Howard’s original vision
When we might realistically see the finished series
After decades of disappointing or forgotten adaptations, Conan may finally be in the hands of someone capable of delivering the violence, tragedy, adventure, philosophy, and raw emotion that made the character legendary.
