After a period of quiet, Netflix’s live-action Pokémon series is back in the spotlight. Recent reports from those familiar with the project have sparked renewed interest, though Netflix hasn’t shared many official details yet. We might learn more about the series in the next year.
Netflix’s live-action Pokémon series still in development
Okay, Pokémon fans, there’s still hope! I’m hearing from a reliable source – entertainment insider @MyTimeToShineHello on X – that the live-action Pokémon series at Netflix hasn’t been shelved. They say we should get some official news about it next year. This lines up with what Variety reported a while back – Netflix is definitely working on bringing Pokémon to life, and it’s just the latest big Japanese property they’re adapting. So, while it’s still early days, the project is still moving forward, and 2025 might finally give us a glimpse of what’s in store.
Okay, so Netflix is moving forward with a live-action Pokémon series, and I’m intrigued! Joe Henderson, who did great work co-running *Lucifer*, is heading up the writing and executive production. Honestly, it’s still super early days – we don’t have any casting news, filming dates, or even a release window yet. But Henderson’s background on shows like *White Collar* and *Almost Human* suggests he knows how to build a compelling world. The big question mark right now? We’re still in the dark about what *kind* of Pokémon show this will be – is it aimed at kids, adults, or somewhere in between? Netflix isn’t saying just yet.
The upcoming live-action Pokémon series is expected to have a similar look and feel to the 2019 movie *Detective Pikachu*. That film successfully combined real actors with computer-generated Pokémon, creating a believable and engaging world. Netflix is aiming to achieve the same blend of exciting adventures, heartfelt moments, and realistic visuals in its new series.
Netflix is now the main place to watch Pokémon shows around the world, with series like Pokémon Journeys, Sun and Moon, and the very first anime available on the service. The company is also building a collection of live-action adaptations, adding a new Pokémon project to shows like One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Scooby-Doo. Although Netflix hasn’t announced when the new Pokémon series will be released, people familiar with the project expect news around 2026 as it’s being developed.
