U.S. entertainment website Variety says that a live-action “Pokémon” series is in “early development” at Netflix with Joe Henderson as writer and executive producer. Henderson is currently serving as co-showrunner for the series “Lucifer,” an adaptation of a DC comics series.

Considering the divisive reaction to Netflix’s live-action “Death Note” back in 2017, it might seem like a gutsy choice to take on the task of adapting “Pokémon,” a series with an even more passionate and vocal existing fanbase. However, according to Variety, Netflix has not yet made any official announcement about a live-action “Pokémon” series.

Henderson currently has his hands full with the sixth and final season of “Lucifer,” which releases in September. (SD-Agencies)
