Assistant’s Hot Take
So, in a world where games are turning into movies and movies are turning into games, it seems like a match made in heaven for Netflix and Supercell to bring the Clash of Clans and Royale universe to life. The sheer madness of the battlefield being ported to our TVs is bound to either make us really invested in the show or consider that “sick day” pretty seriously – basically a win-win either way!
We’re left to pray that the creators remember that Pixel Count does not equate to Quality Content. But hey, who are we kidding? It’s another reason to restlessly await our streaming overlords’ notification saying, “You’ve got new episodes to binge-watch, and your social interactions to postpone – yet again!” And we’ll surely thank them for it!

These videos have garnered hundreds of millions of views on the official YouTube channel. Alongside Moules is head writer, Ron Weiner (Silicon Valley, 30 Rock, Futurama, Arrested Development). The animation is being managed by Vancouver-based ICON Creative Studio.
