Boom! Studios founder Andrew Cosby shot a tweet out on Wednesday that said he is in final talks to be the showrunner (and writer) of an all new animated Diablo series on Netflix, and speaking for myself, oh, hell yeah.
After the success of Castlevania, one of the best video game properties to ever be adapted for a screen of any kind, it looks like companies are more willing to take chances on animated properties, and Diablo is a good place to start. It's a beloved property, and besides, say, Warcraft, I can't think of a better series to adapt. It doesn't hurt that Cosby just finished writing the Hellboy reboot, which looks like it is going to be totally and completely badass.
The tweet has since been deleted, but that is hopefully because the deal is moving forward and there will be an official reveal soon. I can only echo the words of the man himself,
“It’s very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out”
