Netflix to adapt Jeff Smith's acclaimed comic book epic Bone as an animated kids' show

Deadline

Smith had been trying to bring his 55-issue 1991-2004 comic book series to the big and small screen for years. “I’ve waited a long time for this,” Smith said. “Netflix is the perfect home for Bone. Fans of the books know that the story develops chapter-by-chapter and book-by-book. An animated series is exactly the way to do this! The team at Netflix understands Bone and is committed to doing something special — this is good news for kids and cartoon lovers all over the world.”
