But now, for the first time, Netflix will bring together the highest quality creative, visual, and writing teams to extend the stories in this first-of-its-kind slate of premium animated event series and specials for audiences of all ages and for families to enjoy together.
Netflix said that they intend to remain faithful to the spirit and tone of Dahl while also building out an imaginative story universe that expands far beyond the pages of the books themselves.
Roald Dahl’s widow, Felicity Dahl, said:
The list of titles included in the deal between the Roald Dahl Story Company and Netflix are:“Our mission, which is purposefully lofty, is for as many children as possible around the world to experience the unique magic and positive message of Roald Dahl’s stories.
“This partnership with Netflix marks a significant move toward making that possible and is an incredibly exciting new chapter for the Roald Dahl Story Company. Roald would, I know, be thrilled.”
Production is set to commence on the first of the Netflix Dahl animated series in 2019.
