Mark Millar's THE MAGIC ORDER on Netflix (2020?)

Netflix Releases Trailer For 'The Magic Order' Comic Book

Quote

Over the years, Netflix has changed the way that we consume movies and television -- and now it looks like they're headed to the comic book world.

 

The streaming platform recently released a teaser trailer for The Magic Order, their first official comic series. You can check it out above.

 

The Magic Order is described as a mob drama meets fantasy, and comes from Mark Millar and Olivier Coipel. The series follows five families of magicians, who have been secretly protecting the world from unseen threats. While the families normally blend in in everyday society, their lives are changed forever when a new enemy tries to assassinate them.

 

The six-issue comic series is the first official project to come from Netflix's "Millarworld" deal, which first was announced in August of last year. The partnership allows Millar to team up with the streaming giant on a wide array of properties, including forays into comics.

 

"Now that Millarworld is owned by Netflix the possibilities are off the scale." Millar told ComicBook.com last year. "In publishing terms, we're being smart and staying at my exact current output, which is around 20 monthly comics a year or four graphic novel collections. This means we can really focus on promoting each book and use Netflix’s massive international machine. Their presence is just ridiculous. We’re announcing a new book this weekend and it almost feels like we’re announcing a movie. The amount of thought and the number of people behind this is unlike anything I’ve experienced in over 20 years as a comic-book creator."

I guess if the motion comic book takes off, they could create an animated or live series. Interesting start.

That took a little while.

Aquaman filmmaker James Wan and geek genre scribe Lindsey Beer are tackling The Magic Order, Netflix’s latest adaptation of a Mark Millar comic book series.

 

Wan will direct the debut episode of the series while Beer, who wrote the adaptation of upcoming film adaptation of Patrick Ness' science fiction series Chaos Walking, will write and act as showrunner. Both will be executive producing along with Millar.

 

Order was the first comic Millar, the co-creator of Kick- and Wanted, put out after the digital streamer acquired his comics imprint, MillarWorld in 2017.

 

The multigenerational story follows five families of magicians who are sworn to defend the human world but are now being picked off one by one. Olivier Coipel was the artist. Michael Clear, the head of production at Wan’s Atomic Monster production company, will executive produce. The company’s Rob Hackett will co-exec produce and oversee.
