Netflix is drawing inspiration from world history for its next project: The streamer has handed a series order to The Liberator, an animated drama series based on events from World War II.
The series is based on Alex Kershaw’s 2013 book The Liberator: One World War II Soldier’s 500-Day Odyssey from the Beaches of Sicily to the Gates of Dachau.
The Liberator‘s pick-up at Netflix comes shortly after the streaming service cancelled its Tony Danza-Josh Groban procedural The Good Cop after just one season.
Series creator Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive) will also write and executive-produce the drama, while Kershaw will serve as a co-producer.
