Clash of Clans animated series coming to Netflix from Futurama writer and Supercell director

Express Tribune20-05-2025
Netflix has officially ordered a new animated series based on Supercell's hit mobile games Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, according to Variety. Titled Clash, the series is currently in pre-production.
The series follows a determined yet inexperienced Barbarian who must unite a band of unlikely heroes to defend their village, all while navigating the absurd and comical politics of war. Set in the expansive and humorous universe shared by the two games, Clash aims to bring the franchise's fan-favorite characters and whimsical battles to life.
Originally released in 2012 and 2016 respectively, Clash of Clans and Clash Royale have remained wildly popular. Together, they have been downloaded more than four billion times, with players logging over 180 billion hours of gameplay.
Fletcher Moules, who previously directed Clash of Clans animated videos for YouTube—amassing hundreds of millions of views—will serve as showrunner. Ron Weiner, known for his work on Futurama and Arrested Development, joins the team as head writer. Animation for the series will be produced by ICON Creative Studio.
This order adds to Netflix's growing list of animated projects. The streamer recently announced Mating Season, an adult animated comedy from the creators of Big Mouth, which is nearing its eighth and final season. Netflix is also preparing to launch Long Story Short, a new series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, featuring voice talents such as Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, and Nicole Byer. That show is set to premiere on August 22.

Charlize Theron says Hollywood gives men ‘a free ride' after flops while women lose chances

Charlize Theron is speaking out against what she sees as a long-standing double standard in Hollywood's action genre. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the Oscar-winning actor criticized the industry for giving men repeated opportunities despite box office failures, while women are rarely afforded the same grace. 'Yeah, it's harder. That's known,' said Theron, who has headlined action films like Æon Flux, Atomic Blonde, and Mad Max: Fury Road. 'Action films with female leads don't get greenlit as much as the ones with male leads... guys will get a free ride.' Theron pointed out that when women front an action movie that doesn't perform well, they're often shut out of similar roles in the future. 'When women do this and the movie maybe doesn't hit fully, they don't necessarily get a chance again,' she said. 'But [studios] will take [the risk] many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well.' The actor's comments come as she promotes The Old Guard 2, a new Netflix sequel in which she performs her own stunts, despite the physical toll. Over the years, Theron has undergone multiple surgeries related to action roles, including neck, shoulder, and elbow injuries. Even so, Theron remains undeterred by the physical demands. Describing one scene where she hung from a helicopter, she said: 'If I pull this off, I'm gonna be okay with never doing a stunt again.' The Old Guard 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Jonathan Bailey says Bridgerton role did not improve real-life romance during Chicken Shop Date interview

While promoting his upcoming film Jurassic World Rebirth, actor Jonathan Bailey appeared on the popular YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, where he offered a candid reflection on his role in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton. Despite playing the swoon-worthy Lord Anthony Bridgerton for three seasons, Bailey admitted the romantic period drama hasn't improved his own love life. "It's fantasy, isn't it? Romance is grounded and real," Bailey said when host Amelia Dimoldenberg asked if the show had made him better at love. His response underlined the divide between on-screen passion and everyday relationships. The interview took a humorous turn when Bailey told Dimoldenberg he could picture her in the Bridgerton world. When she asked if he could cast her, he laughed, admitting he had 'no power' but could 'put a word in.' Asked what kind of character she'd play, Bailey joked she'd be 'really uptight'—a 'potential spinster,' sparking an animated reaction from the host. Bailey is currently promoting Jurassic World Rebirth, where he stars alongside Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. In an interview with People, Bailey described the project as a clear summer blockbuster from the outset, saying the cast felt the energy on set from day one. Johansson echoed his enthusiasm, telling People she hopes the film captures the wonder of the original Jurassic Park for a new generation. 'It makes you dream,' she said. The full interview with Bailey is available now on Chicken Shop Date's YouTube channel. His remarks offer a charming contrast to the romance-driven persona fans know from Bridgerton—a reminder that even TV's most eligible bachelors are just regular people off-screen.
