<p>If everything falls into place, this would see <em>Diablo</em> join the animated <em>Castlevania</em> series in Netflix’s library of game-inspired content and adds another notable franchise to the growing list of games being picked up for TV and film adaptations. </p>
<p>Andrew Cosby, Hellboy writer and founder of the comic publisher Boom! Studios, tweeted yesterday that he is in final talks to sign on as the showrunner and writer for an otherwise unannounced <em>Diablo</em> animated series on Netflix. The tweet has since been deleted, but the folks at <a href="https://bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3522810/diablo-netflix-series-confirmed-andrew-cosby-final-talks-write/">BloodyDisgusting</a> were able to grab the text before Cosby removed the tweet.</p>
<p>“I guess I can confirm I am indeed in final talks to write and show-run the new <em>Diablo</em> animated series for Activision and Netflix,” read Cosby’s now-deleted Tweet. “It’s very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out.”</p>
