A new Pokemon series is in early development at Netflix, Variety has learned exclusively from sources. As the project is still in its early days, no details are available about the plot. However, sources say that Joe Henderson is attached to write and executive produce. Henderson currently serves as co-showrunner and executive producer on the popular Netflix series Lucifer, which is preparing to air its sixth and final season at the streamer. Sources also say that the project would be a live-action series akin to the Detective Pikachu film starring Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith that was released in 2019.

The move to develop an original Netflix Pokemon series comes as the streamer has made itself the home to multiple existing Pokemon shows, including Pokemon: Indigo League and Pokemon Journeys among others. Netflix has also been making a strong push into anime in recent years, having previously announced original series based on Far Cry, Splinter Cell, and Terminator. Netflix has been moving into more live-action adaptations of anime titles as well, including the upcoming Cowboy Bebop and One Piece live-action shows. The streamer previously released a live-action Death Note film in 2017. In addition to his work on Lucifer, Henderson is currently developing a series adaptation of the comic book Shadecraft at Netflix, which was announced in March. Henderson penned the comic, working alongside artist Lee Garbett. Henderson is co-writing the pilot of that project with Georgia Lee, with both also executive producing. Garbett will produce. Henderson is also known for his work on shows such as 11.22.63 at Hulu and Graceland and White Collar at USA Network. He is repped by The Cartel.

Pokemon abuse could be rectified by only allowing the trainer to catch six Pokemon at all times. None of this PC hoarding entire ecosystems of creatures in pocket size cages.

A studio with no connection to a movie that made 3 times it budget is trying to recoup its cost?

a 10 second search would have saved you this embarrassment.

The cgi in Detective Pikachu worked really well, but I doubt they can afford to do that level of computer effects for a Netflix show.

I hope The Pokmon Company doesn't get butthurt over the project getting leaked and pull the plug like Nintendo did with the live-action Zelda.

Yeah, Detective Pikachu was actually pretty good for what it was. A shame that I gave up my Netflix subscription a while ago. But I guess there's time before this one is set to go.
