Netflix is moving forward with a live-action adaptation of the board game Catan, naming Aaron Nee and Adam Nee as the project’s directors. Polygon reports that the brothers will lead the film, marking a key step in Netflix’s development of the video-game-to-screen style adaptation.
Deadline adds context by framing the move as Netflix’s first major action with the IP after securing rights in 2025. The outlet reports that, beyond directing, the Nee brothers are expected to write and direct the movie. Deadline also notes that Netflix did not provide a comment for its reporting. Across both sources, the core development is Netflix’s decision to bring the Nee brothers onto the Catan adaptation as it advances from rights acquisition toward production.
