Minecraft to get it’s own animated series at Netflix

Netflix has partnered with Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, to develop a new animated series based on the popular video game. The announcement, which included a teaser trailer, was made during the celebration of Minecraft's 15th anniversary.

Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 300 million copies sold worldwide. This is not the first attempt at a Minecraft animated series on Netflix. In 2018, Netflix partnered with Telltale Games on an interactive series titled "Minecraft: Story Mode," but the project was eventually discontinued.

This new Minecraft series is part of a growing trend of video game adaptations making their way to streaming services and big screens. Recent successful examples include adaptations of Super Mario Bros. and The Last of Us.
