Millarworld is coming to Netflix: 5 original adaptations including 'Jupiter's Legacy' and 'American Jesus' at work
Netflix is going big with its comic book adaptations. Around a year back the market-leading streamer had purchased the rights to comic maestro Mark Millar's imprint and now latest updates suggest that original content based on Millarworld is already under active development. In fact, Netflix and the comics publisher are together reported to be working on at least five projects — including TV series and films — based on Millar's creations.
If everything goes as planned comic book fans will soon be treated to the two new comic book shows, 'Jupiter's Legacy' and 'American Jesus' from the Millarworld. Following the world’s first generation of superheroes who received their powers in the 1930’s, 'Jupiter's Legacy', executive produced by Steven S DeKnight, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and Dan McDermott and directed by DeKnight, is described as a "multi-generational American superhero epic". In present day they are the revered elder guard, but their superpowered children struggle to live up to the legendary feats of their parents.
