Netflix and Mojang are teaming up to produce a new animated series based on the hit game Minecraft.

The animated series is being developed by WildBrain, the creators of Sonic Prime, Ninjago: Dragons Rising, and Carmen Sandiego.
Released in 2011, Minecraft is an open world sandbox game where you are free to do virtually whatever you want.

There’s also no real “main character,” although Steve — one of nine default player character skins — is arguably the most recognizable.
Over the years, Mojang has released updates that offer quest-like activities and boss-type mobs for players to try and defeat — including the power Ender Dragon — but it’s still largely up to the player to craft their own imaginative story. This sort of freedom should allow WildBrain to craft their own unique story that will hopefully capture the spirit and essence of what Minecraft is all about.
