A live-action Pokemon series is underway at Netflix.
A TV project dependent on the wildly popular trading cards and video games is in early development at the streaming channel, sources affirm.
A journalists room led by showrunner Joe Henderson (Lucifer) began staffing up about a month prior.
Numerous scenes of the Pokemon anime series are as of now on Netflix, which makes a potential live-action version a natural fit for the streamer.
In the event that greenlit to series, it wouldn’t mark the first live-action take on the establishment, as there was a film, Detective Pikachu, delivered in 2019 (presented previously). The film featured Ryan Reynolds and earned $433 million around the world. A continuation was apparently being developed, however in May co-star Justice Smith purportedly said, “I think we have to just kind of bury our hopes. I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
In the interim, Henderson’s Lucifer will release its 6th and last season on Netflix on Sept. 10.
Netflix had no remark on the development.
