On May 30th, Netflix unveiled plans for an animated series based on the immensely popular sandbox game, Minecraft. The streaming giant released a brief 20-second teaser on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, featuring an exploding Creeper and iconic Minecraft scenery, before revealing the Netflix logo.
While the visual style of the series remains undisclosed, reactions from fans on X have been mixed. While some express enthusiasm, others harbor reservations regarding the series’ potential quality.
Discussions on Reddit also highlight the contrast between the animated series announcement and the planned live-action Minecraft film set for April 2025. Many users prefer the idea of an animated adaptation over live-action, a sentiment further fueled by the star-studded cast attached to the film, including Jason Momoa and Jack Black.
Despite the teaser’s lack of specific details such as plot or characters, Netflix assures that the series is actively in production, hinting at forthcoming trailers and information. As of now, a release date for the animated Minecraft series remains undisclosed, with only the phrase “Coming Soon” featured in the teaser.
