Every Dark Horse Comic Adaptation Coming Soon to Netflix

Read Time:3 Minute, 7 Second

Netflix and Dark Horse Comics have teamed up with each in both directions over the past few years and more is the come. Here’s a full breakdown of every upcoming Dark Horse Comics project, the series and movies you can already watch on Netflix right now.

Established 35 years ago, Dark Horse Comics has become one of the biggest names in comic publishing and much like all of their counterparts is aggressively moving into the TV and movie space.

Helping them achieve this is Netflix who has released a number of adaptations so far and will be doing so aggressively going forward thanks to a first-look deal struck in 2019.


Released Dark Horse Comics Adaptations on Netflix

Polar (2019)

Released on Netflix: January 25th, 2019

The first Dark Horse Comics adaptation to come to Netflix was headlined by Mads Mikkelsen (most known for NBC’s Hannibal).

The action movie directed by Jonas Åkerlund with a soundtrack provided by Deadmau5 didn’t do particularly well with critics with it only carrying a 19 on Metacritic. Audiences have taken to the movie far better however the movie is certainly very middle of the road.

The most popular Dark Horse Comic title to make the jump over to Netflix so far is The Umbrella Academy which was produced by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá.

The series tells the story of the former adopted child heroes reuniting after the passing of their father. Steve Blackman serves as the showrunner.

Three seasons have been produced thus far with season 1 arriving on Netflix in February 2019.

Season 3 of the show is due to arrive on Netflix in 2022.
