Millarworld was sold to Netflix for a reported £24.8million in 2017. Millar was subsequently appointed to run the company within Netflix.
Jupiter’s Legacy is the first project under the Netflix banner. But as well as the nine other projects currently in development, Millar is hoping there will be many more
“I’ve always had this ambition to create 25 franchises and I think I’m on about 22. So now I’m saying I want to create 30 franchises, 35.”
