Netflix Finally Brings the Queer Fantasy ‘Nimona’ to the Screen

  • “Nimona” features a shape-shifting protagonist who serves as one of the film’s anti-heroes.
  • The film not only includes explicit LGBTQ+ representation but is inherently queer.
  • Initially, the film was almost abandoned, but thankfully, it eventually made its way to our screens.

In February 2021, “Nimona” faced the threat of cancellation.

The highly anticipated film adaptation of ND Stevenson’s webcomic turned graphic novel was on the verge of being scrapped when its original animation studio, Blue Sky, closed down. Insider was told by staffers that they believed the film would never be released.

Now, after more than two years, “Nimona” has finally found a home on Netflix. The streaming giant announced in April 2022 that it will release the film in 2023, partnering with Annapurna Pictures for production.
