Netflix Developing New CG Animated Fantasy Adventure Series DANIEL SPELLBOUND
Netflix is moving forward with a new CG animated series titled Daniel Spellbound, which is being developed by Matt Fernandes (Dino Ranch, Remy & Boo, Kingdom Force) and Boat Rocker Studios.
The series is a supernatural fantasy adventure story that’s set in modern-day New York City. In the series, “magic is real… it’s just hidden from the public by sleight of hand and misdirection. But Daniel Spellbound knows where to find it – as a tracker of magical ingredients he makes his living selling rare goods to sorcerers and wizards for their spells. But when he discovers a strange ingredient, Daniel catches the attention of dangerous alchemists and he suddenly must test his skills on an adventure around the globe, while the magical world hangs in the balance!”
Fernandes talked about what he is looking to do with this series saying:
“I wanted to create a contemporary fantasy world that reflected urban culture – not just set in a magical world, but where the magic is woven into the fabric of modern society, only hidden in plain sight. I had always been curious about how wizards actually acquired the strange ingredients for their spells. Is there a corner store that has them? And who is the guy that finds all that weird stuff? From that point, Daniel Spellbound was born.”
Jon Rutherford, President, Boat Rocker Studios, Kids & Family and Rights said in a statement:
“We’re very excited to finally announce a project that we developed and pitched over three years ago, and couldn’t be happier to be producing it with Netflix. Matt and I always envisioned this story would inspire kids and families around the world and it’s incredible to now see these magical worlds come to life. We look forward to unveiling this show to the world in 2022.”
Daniel Spellbound sounds like it’ll make for a series. Enjoy these kinds of stories and this might actually turn out to be something special. The series will consist of 20 episodes each being 22-minutes long, and it will debut on Netflix in 2022.
