All the upcoming comic book adaptations coming to Netflix in 2022 and beyond including titles from Millarworld, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse and more.

Through its own lineup and leaning on libraries from the likes of Boom!, Dark Horse and others, Netflix has a stunning lineup albeit its past performance is rocky to say the least.

Let’s break down every comic book adaptation coming soon to Netflix.

Back in April 2020, Netflix signed a first-look deal with the comic book publisher Boom! Studios but they first started collaborating really starting in 2019.

To date, no projects have actually been released but plenty is on the way.

Here’s a brief look at the 6 announced Boom! Studios adaptations with a full preview of all six available here.

• BRZRKR – Keanu Reeves will voice and star in both a live-action adaptation and an anime project too.
• Mech Cadets – Set to release in 2023, this new animated series is coming from Polygon Pictures.
• Last Sons of America – Peter Dinklage is notably attached for this sci-fi adaptation being produced by 6th & Idaho Productions.
• Something is Killing the Children – Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House) to adapt this horror series.
• The Killer – David Fincher directed feature film starring Tilda Swinton and Michael Fassbender. Based on the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent.
• The Unsound – First announced back in 2019, this adaptation is being directed by David F. Sandberg.

Netflix acquired Millarworld back in 2017 with the streamer now owning the rights to the majority of works published by Scottish comic writer, Mark Millar.

So far two Millarworld projects have been released on Netflix. That includes the canceled Jupiter’s Legacy that was released in the summer of 2021 and the anime series, Super Crooks.

We’ve got an expanded look at every Millarworld project coming up on Netflix but here’s a brief overview of every upcoming project that’s in development.

• American Jesus – Reportedly already filmed, the action-comedy will be a multi-lingual series and is about Jesus Christ returning to Earth.
• Super Crooks – will be adapted into a live-action series format sitting alongside the anime project.
• The Magic Order – This series is akin to Harry Potter in that it’s about a magic order. Development was halted back in 2020 but it looks to be back in development.

There are also a lot of announced Netflix projects but without much details on their development since their initial announcement. These titles include:

• Empress
• Huck
• King of Spies
• Night Club
• Prodigy
• Reborn
• Sharkey The Bounty Hunter
• Space Bandits

It’s worth noting that Image Comics is also involved in many of the Millarworld projects too both on the publishing side and listed as production companies on the Netflix projects too.

• Bone – Originally self-published by Jeff Smith, Image Comics published issues 21 through 27. It’s set to be adapted as an animated series.
• Nocterra – TV show based on the comic series by Scott Snyder and Tony S. Daniel. Comes through Roberto Patino’s overall deal with Netflix.
• The Old Guard 2 – A sequel to the Charlize Theron superhero movie that debuted in 2021.

DC Comics are a subsidiary of Warner Brothers and as such, much of their output is now primarily focused on the HBO Max platform.

With that said, there are a couple of DC titles that are coming to Netflix globally in the near future with plenty more still licensed to Netflix as well.

• Sweet Tooth (Season 2) – After becoming a hit for Netflix in 2021, Sweet Tooth is set to return for a second season.
• The Sandman – Neil Gaiman is involved with this highly anticipated DC adaptation set to arrive in 2022.
