Culture news You have all played this game with friends, it will soon be adapted into a film by Netflix: the villagers will not sleep peacefully for very long…
This year, Netflix decided to think outside the box and reach out to projects that are original to say the least. Last year, the platform made a rather bizarre announcement by revealing the adaptation of a famous card game. Between amusement, concerns and taunts, subscribers have discovered information here and there over the months. Today, Netflix is back at it: the film adapted from the game “The Werewolves of Thiercelieux” once again confirms its release date, and it even has a real title now!
Netflix surprises everyone with the adaptation of this cult board game
Remember. In May 2023, Netflix announced the very surprising adaptation of a board game that has become more and more cult over the years. His popularity is such that he has at least once found himself in the middle of an evening with friends. At that time, the famous SVOD platform only made a small announcement and did not reveal any details about this project. For this, we had to wait almost two more months to obtain concrete data on this… French production! Because yes, the adaptation of the famous card game The Werewolves of Thiercelieux is indeed a “made in France” initiative.

Obviously, we had to expect a cast full of stars from France and Netflix did not miss the opportunity to bring together a fine cast of actors (Franck Dubosc, Jean Reno, Jonathan Lambert, etc.) for this adaptation whichaccording to information relayed by The Parisian last July, should be quite similar to the atmosphere of a feature film like Jumanji. In addition to this information, we learned more about the plot itself, evoking the misadventures of a reconstituted French family and transposed, as if by magic, in the middle of the 1400s after discovering a copy of the card game.

Werewolves will indeed be released on Netflix in 2024!
On the subscriber side, we were not necessarily convinced by this project and, on social networks, the criticisms were already raining down quite a bit against him…while the release on the platform was far from being planned for tomorrow the day before. Initially, Netflix had not communicated a release date, or even a vague launch window, preferring to opt for “Coming soon”. Finally, the information came out a short time later: the film will arrive in the platform’s catalog in 2024, and Netflix, rather twice than once, has reconfigured it in a message posted on social networks.
Once again, information on this adaptation is disseminated in dribs and drabs since there has been no clarification on the release date. However, the new confirmation of the launch in 2024 makes us understand that the development of the film is progressing well. It had also started filming, near the city of Prague and in the Czech Barrandov studios, during the summer period. Finally, the last information to remember from this post on the social network X is the title of the film, previously unknown. It will therefore be, soberly, “ Werewolves »directed by François Uzan (screenwriter of Family Business and director of In place).
