Amazon is developing a Howard' based Conan The Barbarian Series!
I've seen it from a few sources today on the net & it sounds like it could really happen. Apparently, Amazon Studios is in development of a Conan series. Colony co-creator, Ryan Condal, GoT Director, Miguel Sapochnik (Battle of the Bastards) & Fargo & Handmaid's Tail Exec. Producer, Warren Littlefield have all teamed for the project. Apparently, they're huge Conan fans & Amazon is dying to jump on the Fantasy/Sword & Sorcery train that HBO started w/ GoT. I'm linking one of the pages. This sounds like it could really happen & if someone FINALLY sticks to the Howard' source material, we may have a great reason to celebrate.

Who knows, maybe we'll see Elric of Melnibone as a series sooner than later.

R.E. Howard never really developed one, but Amazon could create a time-line with the stories, something like Dark horse comics did w/ the 1st 60/70 issues of their Conan comics release.
What Amazon has to do, which the Momoa movie didn't & the Arnold movie only sort of did, is to make Conan smart. I'd like to see Conan portrayed as the sly, intelligent, crafty s.o.b. he was written as. Sure, they could pump up the female warriors he teamed with Belit, etc... & develop his enemies to float in & out of the series, but they really should try & stick w/ the books. He was "Born on the Battlefield" so why not start there? Casting might be tough.
