Netflix signs deal with comic firm BOOM! after ditching Marvel series
Netflix announces a new deal with comics firm BOOM! Studios, one year on from ditching the Marvel TV series from the streaming platform.

Netflix has announced a new partnership with comic group BOOM! Studios to produce new live action and animated series in the coming years.

The agreement comes after the streaming giant cancelled all of its ongoing series with Marvel, including Daredevil, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones, last year.

Titles in the BOOM! stable include Lumberjanes, Something is Killing the Children, Once & Future, and Mouse Guard, all of which are contenders to be adapted for the small screen under the deal.

"BOOM! characters are innately special, they're colourful, diverse and varied and their stories have the power to ignite something in all of us," said Brian Wright, Netflix's vp of original series.

"We can't wait to bring these stories from the page to the screen to fans in every corner of the world."

The first fruits of the partnership are expected to arrive in early 2021.
