Hey guys! Guess what? There's a wicked new show heading to Netflix, and your favourite stars, Patrick Stewart and Sam Claflin are involved! For all you comic lovers out there, the adaptation of the vault comic series, Barbaric, is on its way.
Patrick Stewart – yep, Professor Xavier from X-Men or Captain Picard from Star Trek – is striking his axe to play the role of a talking axe while Sam Claflin (you might recognize him from Daisy Jones & the Six or Peaky Blinders) is set to star as Owen, the cursed barbarian. Isn't that so cool?
What is even more thrilling is that Michael Bay is on board as the director: get ready for a wild, explosive ride! If you've seen any of his movies like Transformers, you know what I'm talking about! This will be Bay's first time directing for a TV show – and I for one can't wait to see how he brings those big-action sequences to the small screen.
You might be wondering, what's Barbaric all about? Well, according to its official synopsis, our hero Owen has been cursed to do good in his life. His weapon, Axe, has become his moral compass. And here's the twist, Axe has a drinking problem too! Owen and Axe roam the realm, helping anyone in need. But there's a catch – Owen despises witches. It's a unique blend of action and humor, think Deadpool crossed with Game of Thrones. Talk about a match made in fantasy heaven!
Sam Claflin is not just starring in the show – he's also an executive producer. Talk about wearing multiple hats! And guess who will be voicing Axe, Owen's chatty and cheeky weapon? None other than Patrick Stewart. Isn't that rad?
We can expect some other interesting characters to show up, such as Soren, a powerful witch with a mysterious past. Even though Owen isn't too fond of witches, they become allies, driven by a shared appetite for blood and vengeance. Then there's Steel, Owen's past companion, who's known for his insane violent streak. Owen and Steel have been friends since their days on the battlefield.
In short, the upcoming series Barbaric has it all – high stakes, intriguing stories, edge-of-your-seat action, and even some laughs thrown in for good measure. At a time when we could all use a bit of distraction, this show promises to be an exciting new addition to Netflix's roster.
If you're a fan of Patrick Stewart or Sam Claflin, you won't want to miss them in their unique roles in Barbaric. And if you weren't a fan before, well, you might just become one after watching this series!
Can't wait to see you all in Barbaric's world. Until then, stay safe, and keep the popcorn ready! Just remember – Tv shows, like life, are better when they're a little Barbaric! See you next time!
