Genndy Tartatovsky has used influences like Maurice Sendak in the past (see Samurai Jack), and some say his Emmy winning hit, Primal, draws influences from the works of Robert E. Howard.
That said, it shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that Tartatovsky is adapting Howard's most famous character, Conan The Barbarian.

Ah, but while Cartoon Network is producing the show, with Tartatovsky as executive producer & showrunner, it ain't going to CN. Instead, it's being developed for Amazon Prime, which will soon drop season 2 of Batman: Caped Crusader (coming next month) upon fans.
Conan hasn't been adapted for animation in several years, so it'll be a fresh take, especially putting emphasis on Conan's relationship with the pirate queen Belit, which hasn't really been explored in television in the past.
Stay tooned.
