Netflix has turned a number of huge properties into successful series and movies. The Witcher, Bridgerton, and A Series of Unfortunate Events were all popular books before they became our favorite original shows. But Netflix might be preparing to take on its greatest challenge yet. Sources tell Variety that a live-action Pokemon series is in early development at Netflix.
According to the report, Netflix tapped Lucifer's co-showrunner Joe Henderson to write and executive produce its Pokemon show. The sources say that the show would be akin to Detective Pikachu. The 2019 movie featured real actors alongside CGI Pokemon and starred Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu. It's unclear how Netflix's live-action show would connect to the rest of the franchise, or if it would at all. Neither Netflix nor Henderson responded to Variety's requests for comment.
