Netflix will adapt one of the all-time great action games ‘Gears of War’ into a live action feature film, followed by an adult animated series, with the potential for more stories to follow.
The film and series will be adapted by acclaimed writer Jon Spaihts (‘Dune’ 1 & 2, ‘Doctor Strange’) who will serve as the writer and creator for both. The adaptation is part of Netflix’s partnership with The Coalition signed in November 2022.
With over 40 million copies sold, Gears of War is one of gaming’s richest and most acclaimed sagas. A society divided and on the brink of collapse faces total extinction by the Locust, a monstrous threat from below. Delta Squad, a ragtag fireteam led by disgraced sergeant Marcus Fenix, is now charged with leading humanity’s last stand.
The series has been critically acclaimed for redefining the tactical third-person and co-operative shooter genre and has one of gaming’s most passionate fanbases.
‘Gears of War’ film and series adaptation will be produced by The Coalition and will premiere soon exclusively on Netflix.
