Dark Horse Comics and Netflix Signed The Deal

After the conclusion of Polar and The Umbrella Academy, Netflix and Dark Horse have chosen to collaborate more. The two companies have signed a first look deal that gives Netflix the first pick of any TV shows or movies from Dark Horse IPs. Moreover, the teams have started to explore future projects. Dark Horse President and Founder Mike Richardson are very happy about this partnership:

“We are very excited about this new arrangement with the talented people at Netflix. We have strong creative relationships as well as a large content library to work with and, as we have seen with our recent projects, Netflix is the perfect partner to bring our stories to fans around the world.”

Senior Vice President of Dark Horse Keith Goldberg said:

“With The Umbrella Academy and Polar, Netflix has pushed our content out into the world and allowed it to spread in a way that we’ve never experienced before, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring a whole new slate of movies and shows to their world-wide audience.”

Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content for Netflix, added:

“Following the success of The Umbrella Academy, we’re excited to extend our relationship with Dark Horse Comics. The Netflix teams are already working in deep collaboration with Dark Horse to identify projects beyond the world of traditional superheroes — branching into horror, fantasy and family entertainment — that we think our members will love.”

I’m really fascinated to see what comes of this deal and which more TV shows and movies will hit Netflix.
