Barbarians is an upcoming Netflix series and it is set during the battle of the Teutoburg forest. The series is bound to go down well with fans of shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom, and it follows Germanic tribes who try to stop the evolution of the Roman Empire.

The series, which was filmed in German and Latin -- the languages of the era -- was created by Jan Martin Scharf and Arne Nolting. The series, which is largely German language with subtitles, will focus on the destinies of three young people with interconnected fates as the story unfolds. Sabine de Mardt, Andreas Bareiss and Rainer Marquass produce for Gaumont.



Malmberg and Wheeler will serve as executive producers on the Conan the Barbarian series, should it come to fruition at Netflix. They'll be developing the project through Pathfinder.

Barbarians debuts on Netflix October 23rd.
