Minecraft is getting an animated series in collaboration with Netflix

It's time to get your diamond pickaxes out!

The Overworld, a realm that has captivated our world through Minecraft’s various iterations, is now set to make a significant leap into our screens. From its humble beginnings to an upcoming movie, Minecraft’s journey continues with an animated series, thanks to a collaboration between Mojang Studios and Netflix.

An official announcement was unveiled, featuring an explosive scene with a Creeper. The teaser, though short, leaves us with a release window of an “Animated Series Coming Soon.”

With the Minecraft universe brimming with a wealth of content, the possibilities for the animated series are endless. It could delve into the enigmatic lore that the community has meticulously dissected. Perhaps it could unravel the origins of the Mobs or unveil the mysteries of the Netherworld. Personally, I’m intrigued by the prospect of exploring the genesis of the Overworld, a realm that the base game doesn’t explicitly delve into.

Or, we could get an epic, adventurous tale like Minecraft Dungeons, where the main protagonist must defeat some big bad. Whichever direction it goes, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a star-studded cast along with it. We already know that Jason Momoa and Jack Black will be in the upcoming Minecraft movie, so I’m curious to see what other actors Mojang Studios can pull for an animated series.

As we eagerly await further details on the Minecraft animated series, we can’t help but wonder if a more concrete release date is on the horizon. Then again, the phrase “coming soon” could very well be a harbinger of a delightful surprise, with the series dropping sooner than we expect.
