PUBLISHED JUL 17, 2018

Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar has had quite a few of his works turned into major feature films — 'Wanted,' 'Kick-Ass,' and 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' to name a few — but will now see some translated on to the small screen as well. Having acquired the writer's company, Millarworld, streaming giant Netflix announced its first slate of series, as well as a few films, based on some of his most popular stories.

Amongst the series to be produced are 'Jupiter's Legacy,' a multi-generational American superhero epic that follows the world's first generation of superheroes who received their powers in the 1930s. But present day, they are now the elder guard and have passed on their responsibilities to their superpowered children who struggle to live up to their parents' legendary feats.
