An animated Diablo TV collection is reportedly within the works, and will likely be distributed by way of Netflix. In a tweet from earlier this week that has since been deleted, Andrew Cosby, who’s the screenwriter of the animated Hellboy adaptation coming subsequent yr, confirmed the undertaking.
In the tweet, posted on Wednesday evening, Cosby stated he could be show-running the brand new collection. The submit reads that “I guess I can confirm I am indeed in final talks to write and show-run the new DIABLO animated series for Activision and Netflix.” He goes on to say that “It’s very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out,” referencing Diablo’s Realm of the Angels.
Given that the tweet has now been taken down, I assume Cosby was not free to substantiate the existence of the brand new collection. This being the web, nonetheless, that tweet has been screen-grabbed, and you may see it in its entirety additional down this text. It’s additionally price mentioning that is, as but, not a finished deal – the tweet does say Cosby’s solely in “final talks” to run the present, however that does bode fairly effectively.
Obviously there are only a few particulars concerning the animated collection, and we’re seemingly nonetheless a great distance off from its launch. I’d speculate, nonetheless, that the story will likely be just like that of the unique Diablo, and that we gained’t see the present till 2020 on the earliest. Cosby has additionally beforehand said that if he had been to put in writing a Diablo present, “it would DEFINITELY be Rated R,” so anticipate loads of blood.

Diablo followers have been fast to level out that Blizzard has talked about “multiple Diablo projects” over the previous few months. Assuming this present is one among them, meaning we’re not but ruling out Diablo 4. With that in thoughts, it is perhaps a good suggestion to pay shut consideration to BlizzCon later this yr.
