Overview
- Prime Video and Conan’s official account announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 24 that Genndy Tartakovsky is developing an animated series titled Conan the Barbarian: Queen of the Black Coast.
- The streamer released an official logline saying the story centers on Conan’s relationship with the pirate queen Bêlit and his quest to save her from a dark sorcery.
- Tartakovsky is confirmed as executive producer and showrunner, with Darrick Bachman, Fred Malmberg and Mark Wheeler also credited as executive producers.
- Cartoon Network Studios will produce the series for Prime Video, marking a cross-studio arrangement that places Tartakovsky’s longtime studio on a non-Warner platform.
- The project is in early development with no release date; Tartakovsky suggested he might share animatics in 2027 and rough animation in 2028, so public visuals are likely years away.
