Netflix first signed a deal with Roald Dahl Story Company three years ago to make animated shows based on his material.
In a tweet shared on Wednesday (22 September) morning, it was announced that the Roald Dahl Story Company and Netflix would be joining forces with a multi-project deal “to bring some of the world’s most loved stories to current and future fans in creative new ways”.
Netflix has purchased the rights to the complete works of Roald Dahl.
A film based on Tim Minchin’s Matilda the Musical is already slated for release in December 2022.
