Netflix’s Clash of Clans Series Might Be Their Next Slam Dunk

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the announcement of Clash, the upcoming animated series based on Clash of Clans and Clash Royale. Netflix is adapting Supercell’s beloved mobile universe with a comedic spin. Fletcher Moules, who previously directed polished Clash shorts, will direct the series. Even more promising—Ron Weiner, known for Futurama and Arrested Development, is the lead writer. We talk about the potential of this series, why it might succeed where other brand-based shows failed, and why Netflix needs a win like this.
