What is Humanoids?
Founded in Paris four decades ago, Humanoids has established itself as a cornerstone of the graphic novel industry, responsible for seminal works such as The Metabarons and Barbarella. Now headquartered in Hollywood, California, the company has pivoted its business model toward the lucrative adaptation of its extensive catalog. By maintaining control over its intellectual property, Humanoids is uniquely positioned to oversee the development of film and television projects, including Bouncer, Metal, and I Am Legion.

What's next for Humanoids?
The infusion of capital is expected to accelerate the development pipeline for Humanoids' upcoming film and television adaptations. As the company moves into this late-stage growth phase, the focus will likely shift toward securing high-profile production partnerships and expanding its creative team in Hollywood. By bridging the gap between classic graphic literature and modern cinematic production, Humanoids is well-positioned to capture significant market share in the intellectual property licensing sector. Future growth will be driven by the successful execution of its current development slate and the continued exploitation of its vast, internationally recognized library of titles.
