“Netflix is also plotting a TV series based on the character Martin the Warrior, a wise and ferocious mouse who co-founded Redwall Abby along with Abbess Germaine,” according to Deadline. The events of the first book, "Redwall" will be covered in one film. Think “Game of Thrones” meets “Beatrix Potter,” or perhaps “Lord of the Rings,” meets “Wind in the Willows.” The Redwall series follows woodland creatures in their established society-mice, moles, rats, foxes, hedgehogs, and other creatures-and the conflicts that follow. A quick glance at the comment section will indicate the hype for the project is very real. The same day as Netflix’s press release regarding Redwall, McHale simply Tweeted the words “.i - am that is." (no spoilers, but fans will understand) with a mouse holding a sword. It’s found a well-deserved cult following since premiering in 2014. The show has an immersive quality through its beautiful artwork, enchanting music, and other-worldly characters. The project will be led by Patrick McHale, who is most famous for his Cartoon Network miniseries, “Over the Garden Wall.” Ten episodes follow a pair of half-brothers as they wander through a dark fairy-tale-like forest to find their way home. Netflix is adapting the Redwall book series by Brian Jacques, and there is much to discuss.
