Netflix has announced a new partnership with Minecraft studio Mojang.
It means we’ll be getting an all-new animated series based on the hugely successful game franchise. And it’s “coming soon”.
Netflixalready has some big video game adaptations and spinoffs on its books, such as theCastlevaniaanimated series,Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,the live-actionResident Evilseries, and plenty ofPokémonepisodes, but there’s one new series in the works that might trump them all in terms of popularity.
Thestreaming servicehas announced a partnership with Mojang to bring you an all-new animated show based onMinecraft.
Announced as part of the Minecraft 15th anniversary celebration event, the show has come as a bit of a surprise – there were few leaks beforehand.
We have a teaser trailer released as part of the news, but little else for now. All we know is that it’s an animated series and it’s “coming soon”
Of course, it’s not the first time Netflix has dabbled with the world of Minecraft. It offered an episodic interactive adventure based on the Telltale game series,Minecraft: Story Mode, a couple of years ago.
However, that lasted just five episodes before being pulled from the platform. You canwatch the entire series on YouTube, but it’s never likely to reappear on Netflix itself.
Instead, it seems like we’ll get a non-interactive all-new show in the coming months. Hopefully it’ll star Steve and original Minecraft characters and locations, but we simply don’t know enough right now.

What is it with all these video game adaptations?
Video games have always made their way onto the big and small screen, but rarely have they made the journey as successfully as they have of late.
Based in the same world but not drawing on any of the games storywise, it proves that you can tell a brand new tale without sullying the original concept. And therecord-breaking viewing figuresare proof positive that it can work wonders.
Let’s hope Netflix has as much up its sleeve withMinecraft.
