Since the project is still in early development, no details regarding the plot have been disclosed, except for the fact that the show will reportedly be a prequel to the first movie. No talent is officially attached to the new project, by Zack Snyder is in talks to direct and serve as an executive producer for the series. Deborah Snyder is also in talks to executive produce.

300 premiered in 2007, and the movie is centered around Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and his quest to defeat King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his powerful Persian army.

Known for its distinctive visual style and unforgettable lines, the movie went on to make more than $400 million and the worldwide box office, instantly becoming a major success in the early stages of Zack Snyder’s career. 300 was based on the comic book series of the same name created by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, which in turn was based on the film titled The 300 Spartans.

The story of how Leonidas and his army faced impossible odds against the Persians did wonders for Zack Snyder’s career, who followed up on his own success with projects such as Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.

The filmmaker also had the opportunity to plant the seeds of the DC Extended Universe with stories such as Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and his version of Justice League, and more recently his Rebel Moon series for Netflix. Many years after he shared his vision of the Spartans with the world, Snyder might be getting ready to hop back into the conflict.

There is currently no release date for the 300 series. The original movie is streaming now on Hulu in the U.S.
