Netflix orders “Barbaric,” a medieval fantasy drama adapted from the best-selling Vault Comics title of the same name. Multiple outlets report the series is moving forward under the direction of Sheldon Turner, who is credited as creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner. The project also involves Robert Rovner as a showrunner/executive producer, with The Hollywood Reporter noting Rovner’s prior work shepherding The CW series “Supergirl.” Deadline adds that the adaptation comes through A+E Studios and Sheldon Turner’s team, including Jennifer Klein’s 100% Production. Both sources frame the deal as a Netflix series greenlight rather than a completed production, with Turner’s background cited in connection to projects such as “X-Men: First Class.” Deadline also reports additional executive producer involvement from Sam Claflin. The articles do not provide details on cast, number of episodes, release date, or specific plot beyond the comic-based premise. Overall, the reporting centers on Netflix’s commitment to the adaptation and the leadership team attached to develop and produce the series.
