There have been rumours about a Diablo animated series being in the works for a while, ever since screenwriter Andrew Cosby posted on Twitter that he was in final talks to be the showrunner and writer of an upcoming series based on the iconic Blizard video game series. Cosby’s tweet was later deleted and no official word from the studio was given about the project.
A recent trademark registration from Blizzard (as found by Spiel Times), seems to indicate that there is a lot of truth to the rumour and that it is likely to be headed its way to a streaming service whenever it does get made. According to the trademark filed by Blizzard Entertainment, the property is called Diablo and consists of the following:
Downloadable films and movies featuring narratives based on a video game and provided via a video-on-demand service
Recently, Cosby posted another tweet where he indicated that he is working on a screenplay for a project that he is not able to talk about yet, but will be hopefully sharing details on it soon. Given Cosby’s earlier tweet, it could be assumed that the Diablo animated series could be on its way soon, though it’s worth noting that this is a rumour at best, until we receive any official confirmation on the latter.
A Diablo series though would certainly be something which would suit the likes of Netflix, who
After all, when it comes to fighting demons in hell itself, it’s not something you intend to make kid-friendly. With so many players in the industry, this could easily be a series in high demand and likely to find

I don’t see how they can make this interesting. Is it going to tell the stories from the games? Even then the entertainment value of Diablo is PLAYING THE GAME.
What I’d really like them to do is have the main character of the story run around the room after killing enemies to pick up loot. And I want them to go “Oooooo, an orange” when a legendary drops. And then shout a few obscenities when it’s an unusable piece of equipment. That would make the story feel authentic

Problem is if they use the same tech for creating the series it would literally be years in development for a couple of episodes. Which means they wont so it will end up being probably less awesome. My worry is that they tone down the adult theme of the game to appeal to a wider audience.
