Directed and produced by Andy Serkis of the “Hobbit” and “Planet of the Apes” trilogies, “Animal Farm” follows Andy Serkis’ “Mowgli” in joining the Netflix platform.

The novel, first published in 1945, allegorizes historical events in Stalinist Russia.

A farm’s animal population overthrow their human masters, but soon their new society is corrupted and then completely controlled by a group of pigs that care little for the farm’s worst-off.

“We are incredibly excited to have finally found the perfect creative home in Netflix for this extraordinary zeitgeist work by George Orwell,” Serkis said as part of a prepared announcement.

The project sees Serkis reunited with fellow producer Matt Reeves, who wrote, produced and directed on “Planet of the Apes” movies.

“Animal Farm” is yet to make casting announcements or reveal a release date.

“Mowgli”, a “Jungle Book” adaptation previously at Warner Bros., was acquired by Netflix last week.
