“The co-development of a game and animated series breaks new ground for Netflix, and we couldn’t think of a better game to build a universe around than Exploding Kittens, one of the most inventive, iconic and original games of this century,” said Mike Moon, Netflix Head of Adult Animation. It joins games including Stranger Things: 1984, Shooting Hoops and Card Blast on the service.
The game will feature both single and multiplayer options.
Future cards and game mechanics will be themed around the animated series so people can play with their favorite characters. It will see players draw cards aiming to avoid the Exploding Kitten. The pair will exec produce alongside showrunners Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman, Bandera’s Dustin Davis, Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping for the Chernin Entertainment Group and Elan Lee, who created the original card game alongside Inman.
