Netflix has announced it will be adapting Vault’s hit fantasy series, Barbaric, as a new episodic series. Barbaric is co-created by writer Michael Moreci and artist Nathan Gooden; Gooden is also a co-founder of Vault Comics. Debuting in 2021, Barbaric rapidly secured its place as a critical-darling and fan-favorite. As of 2026, Barbaric is currently on its fifth volume, and is one of the best-selling fantasy comics of the past decade.

Barbaric follows Owen, a bloodthirsty barbarian and his drunk axe as they roam an untamed, mythic realm battling supernatural cultists, hungry giants, creatures of the night, and more in their quest to somehow, amidst all this chaos, do some good.

Academy Award nominee Sheldon Turner will co-showrun and write the Netflix series along with Robert Rovner, who is best known for his showrunning and writing work on CW series Supergirl.

Also on the exec producing team are Jennifer Klein, Turner’s partner at the duo’s 100% Productions, Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson for A+E Studios, TV veteran Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and F.J. DeSanto and Damian Wassel for Vault Comics. Actor Sam Claflin, along with Luke Carroll, and Michael Stevenson, are exec producing via Soft Claw Productions.
