Aaron and Adam Nee have been hired to write and direct the live-action movie adaptation of Catan at Netflix, based on the popular board game.

The studio closed a deal for the exclusive global rights to popular multi-player board game Catan in October 2025 and under the pact, the streamer would develop live-action and animated film and scripted TV series as well as unscripted projects and video games based on Catan by Klaus Teuber, originally released in 1995 as The Settlers of Catan, which has sold over 45 million copies and has been translated into over 40 languages.

The game is set on the fictional island of Catan, a place where settlers must navigate bountiful and varied landscapes, shifting alliances, and limited resources, while robbers roam the land. The game blends strategy, resource negotiation, and world-building.

For the Nee Brothers, the project marks another high-profile project they can give their original spin to. They recently penned The Masters of the Universe as well as the upcoming spy pic at Netflix starring Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill.

On directing side, they helmed the action comedy The Lost City starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.
