“Conan the Barbarian” is coming to Prime Video via a new animated series from animation legend Genndy Tartakovsky and Cartoon Network Studios.

Tartakovsky first pitched an animated version of the character, created by Robert E. Howard in 1932, in 2008. Various networks and streamers were interested in the project, but now it has a firm home with Prime Video. It just entered development, so it will be a while before we see anything from the series. In a pre-taped video message that played at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Tartakovsky joked that maybe he’d be able to share some animatics next year and some rough animation the year after that.

The official logline for the new series reads: “After finding love in the pirate queen, Bêlit, a battle-hardened Conan defies gods, fate and even death to save her from a dark sorcery that threatens to destroy everything.”

Tartakovsky will serve as executive producer and showrunner on “Conan the Barbarian” and is joined by other executive producers Darrick Bachman, Fred Malmberg and Mark Wheeler.
