Powerhouse Animation Inks First-Look Deal With Netflix

Titmouse and now count Powerhouse Animation as part of first-look deals for Netflix to ink in the hopes of procuring more adult animation in the vein of impressive titles like Seis Manos, Castlevania, and more. Powerhouse has other adult animation titles on tap including Skull Island, Tomb Raider, Masters of the Universe: Revelation and the Castlevania sequel series.

Our Take

The first-look deal is well-deserved. I’m not quite sure the self-produced efforts are clicking with audiences just yet with examples like Seis Manos and Blood of Zeus as both were very strong visually, but lack in story-telling elements (also, Netflix is going crazy in adapting Norse mythology as of late). I want to see the studio to continue to take chances until they get it, and Netflix is a great outlet for this.
