Zacks Investment Research | Nov 15, 2018 09:13PM ET
Netflix’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) original animated drama series portfolio is expanding. The company recently ordered a four-part war drama series, The Liberator, which is the first show to be produced using Trioscope Enhanced Hybrid Animation technology.
The Trioscope technology has been developed by Grzegorz Jonkajtys together with School of Humans' L.C. Crowley. The series is produced by A+E Studios and Unique Features along with School of Humans.
The Liberator, set during World War II, is based on Alex Kershaw's book The Liberator: One World War II Soldier's 500-Day Odyssey. The series is created and written by Jeb Stuart of Die Hard and The Fugitive fame.
Innovative Pipeline to Thwart Competition
Netflix has an innovative pipeline of animated projects, including movies like My Father’s Dragon and The Willoughbys along with television series like The Powerpuff Girls. Most of the company’s projects are expected to release between 2019 and 2021.
Netflix’s aggressive push in the original animated programming space reflects growing competition, particularly from Disney (NYSE:DIS) that is set to launch its own streaming service in 2019.
