Robert Rodriguez’s plannedConan the BarbarianTV series receives a disappointing update from the director.

A TV series has been in development for a long time.

I went and pitched it to them.

And they then… they let the rights lapse.

An updatedConanTV series still holds some appeal, but much will depend on where the franchise ends upnext.

The only question is whether Rodriguez or Netflix might eventually end up being involved.

Conan the Barbarian is a multimedia franchise that began in 1931. Conan first appeared in the 1931 short Story “People of the Dark,” but the character grew in popularity in the ’80s when Arnold Schwarzenegger took on the character for two live-action films. Since then, multiple movies, TV shows, video games, and comic books have been released, centering on the titular character.
