The rights to the popular classic board game were acquired by Netflix last year, now there’s new information out about Catan:

The board game that was the staple of many family and friend gatherings across the globe for generations is now getting the adaptation treatment. The latest release of information announces the people who have been picked up by the streaming giant to bring the game’s story to life.

What’s Catan about?

Although the current plot is being developed and early details are being kept under wraps as the script takes shape, there’s a lot of potential to draw a story from the game that can go anywhere. It’s likely we’ll see the film’s interpretation of the island of Catan, probably following a group of settlers trying to build a new life for themselves there. The politics, power and tension from the game could translate into some on screen drama.

Who’s behind it?

The Lost City‘s duo Adam and Aaron Nee have been brought on board to write and direct the adaptation.
