IDW (NYSE American: IDW), a leading media company providing uniquely compelling stories and characters in various genres for global audiences across all entertainment platforms,  announced today it is teaming up with Ánima (Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires, Legend Quest, Space Chickens in Space), the leading animation studio in Latin America, to develop and produce an adult animated television series based on IDW Publishing’s Brutal Nature comic books.

 

Created by Saracino and Olivetti and produced by Fernando De Fuentes S and José C. García de Letona, alongside the IDW team, Brutal Nature is about a collection of masks that transforms a young man into innumerable beasts and monsters.

 

The Brutal Nature comic, first published in 2016, is a twist on the Spanish conquest of South America in which a young man is in possession of a set of masks that transform him into great beasts and monsters which he becomes in order to keep the Spanish from wiping out villages.

 

With a growing slate of projects in development for 2022, IDWE continues to produce the Netflix hit “Locke & Key“; its third and final season drops on August 10th. In addition, IDWE’s newest Apple TV+ series, “Surfside Girls” (based on the Kim Dwinell Top Shelf graphic novels) debuts on August 19th, 2022.

 

Currently celebrating its 20th year in business as a leading animation studio in Latin America and recognized as a global player in the animation industry, Ánima creates, produces, and manages high-quality entertainment brands and develops original projects for kids and the entire family. Its latest project “Aztec Batman, Clash of Empires” was announced in partnership with HBO Max and WB Animation while others like “Cleo & Cuquin”, “Brave Bunnies” and “Space Chickens in Space” keep entertaining audiences around the world.

 

“We’ve always been big fans of what Ánima has been doing in the animation space, so we are thrilled with their passion for partnering on Brutal Nature,” said Paul Davidson, Executive Vice President of IDW Entertainment (IDWE). “Their sensibilities will truly expand the amazing world that Luciano Saracino and Ariel Olivetti created.”

 

“Working with IDW to develop such a unique project is really exciting,” added José C. García de Letona, COO at Ánima. “Brutal Nature will help us keep building up high-quality stories with a Latin sensibility that can be enjoyed all over the world and we can’t think of a better partner to achieve it.”
