Netflix has acquired the rights to the BOOM! Studios comic book BRZRKR created by Keanu Reeves and will first adapt the story into a feature film followed by an anime spinoff series.

BRZRKR is a brutally epic saga about an immortal warrior’s 80,000 year fight through the ages. The man known only as “B” is half-mortal and half-god, , cursed and compelled to violence… even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the earth for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence… and how to end it. It was created by Keanu Reeves, written by Reeves and New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt, and illustrated by Marvel artist Ron Garney with colours by Bill Crabtree, letters by Clem Robins, and character designs and covers by Rafael Grampá, based on an original idea Reeves had been developing for a number of years.

Reeves will star in the series and executive produce. The anime series will further expand the BRZRKR universe by exploring different elements of the story. In the series, Reeves will reprise his role and voice his character.

The 12-issue limited series published by Boom! Studios was launched on March 3, 2021.
