Harrowing drama about U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks will be first ever produced using Trioscope enhanced hybrid animation technology.
Netflix has ordered a four-part animated series, The Liberator, which tells the riveting true story of maverick U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks and his infantry unit as they fought for over five hundred days to liberate Europe. Based on the book The Liberator: One World War II Soldier’s 500-Day Odyssey by Alex Kershaw, the series was created by Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive). The combat drama will follow Sparks and the 157th Infantry Regiment from Oklahoma, a National Guard unit comprised primarily of cowboys, Native Americans and Mexican-Americans, from the invasion of Italy to the liberation of Dachau, the German concentration camp located just outside of Munich.
The series will be the first ever produced using the new, patent-pending Trioscope enhanced hybrid animation technology that combines state-of-the-art CGI with live-action performance, bringing a high level of emotion and fidelity to the animated drama experience. Grzegorz Jonkajtys (Sin City, Pan's Labyrinth, The Revenant) developed the Trioscope technology together with Atlanta-based animation studio School of Humans' L.C. Crowley. The series is being produced for Netflix by A+E Studios and Unique Features in partnership with School of Humans.
Jonkajtys is directing all four episodes. Stuart, series creator and writer, will executive produce through his Real Folk Productions. Bob Shaye, Michael Lynne (Lord of the Rings) and Sarah Victor are serving as executive producers for Unique Features. Crowley, Jonkajtys, Brandon Barr, and Mark Apen are serving as executive producers for The School of Humans. Barry Jossen is serving as executive producer for A+E Studios. Kershaw is serving as co-producer.
