Netflix is expanding it's ever-growing portfolio of game-to-screen adaptations by tackling the fictional island of the board game *Catan*.

On Tuesday, Asmodee — the French tabletop gaming publisher that released *Catan* by Klaus Teuber in 1995 — announced that the streamer scored the exclusive global rights to the game in a wide-range deal that includes a plan to develop live-action and animation adaptations across film, TV, and unscripted formats.

Based on the board game originally released as *The Settlers of Catan*, the upcoming projects will be the first adaptations to bring Catan — an island where settlers must navigate bountiful and varied landscapes, shifting alliances, and limited resources, while robbers roam the land — to life.

All projects under the deal will be produced by Darren Kyman from Asmodee, Pete Fenlon from Catan Studio (an Asmodee studio), and Teuber's sons Guido Teuber and Benjamin Teuber. Roy Lee from Vertigo Entertainment is also attached to produce. **

"Millions of people are enjoying *Catan* since it was created and for many, it remains a gateway to modern board gaming. I am thrilled to see the game expanding to a larger audience who will discover the richness of its universe, I find it exciting for the future of the brand," Thomas Koegler, CEO of Asmodee, said. "It's also a testament that board gaming is truly part of pop culture and a popular form of entertainment in everyone's homes, and I am delighted to continue Asmodee's relationship with Netflix."

Jinny Howe, head of Netflix's US and Canada scripted series, added, "Anyone who has played *Catan* knows that the intense strategy at the core of the game has endless opportunities for some serious drama. We're thrilled to partner across series, features, animation, and games to bring this world to life for hardcore 'Settlers' and new fans alike."

The deal continues Asmodee's existing relationship with Netflix, which resulted in the streamer's 2024 French film* Family Pack, *based on Asmodee's card game *The Werewolves of Millers Hollow,* as well as Asmodee creating board games based on popular Netflix shows such as *Ozark, Squid Game, Stranger Things*, and *Bridgerton.*

"When our father Klaus Teuber first introduced *Catan* thirty years ago, he imagined an aspirational world where people would gather by trading, building and settling together — both at the table and beyond it," Benjamin and Guido, co-CEOs of Catan GmbH, said. "This collaboration with Netflix marks an exciting new chapter in that journey. For three decades, *Catan* has connected families and friends around the world. Now, we're thrilled to see it inspire storytelling on a global stage — staying true to our father's vision of creativity, strategy and human connection." **

Netflix has made a name for itself with its game-to-screen adaptations, which include,  *Arcane, Castlevania, *and* Exploding Kittens, *as well as the upcoming * Assassin's Creed series, Clue* and *Monopoly* reality competition series,* Magic: The Gathering* animated series, the *Dungeons and Dragons *live-action series, *Forgotten Realms,* and the* Gears of War *film.**
