Conan TV Series News
Ryan Condal is preparing to adapt Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian for TV, and he shared some of the first details with SYFY WIRE when they caught up with him at Comic-Con.
According to Condal, the first episode of the Conan series will adapt “The Frost-Giant’s Daughter,” one of the primary tales in Howard’s canon for his signature character.
“I think the Conan purists will be very pleased,” said Howard, while setting the stage for Amazon's pilot episode. “If anybody knows and follows the saga [‘The Frost-Giant’s Daughter’] is... the earliest story in Conan’s life. He’s basically just left Cimmeria and he’s running around as a mercenary with this Viking band of warriors called the Aesir... I’ve put [the Conan stories] back in [chronological] order and the idea is to tell Conan’s story over the time of his life.”
Condal indicated that his take on Conan will stay true to the original’s spirit, while introducing a serial element as well.
