    Roald Dahl's stories are headed to Netflix, as the company just announced a major deal with The Roald Dahl Story Company. A number of the author's beloved stories, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The BFG, are part of Netflix's upcoming slate, and they'll be produced as "original animated event series" and specials. Netflix's VP of kids and family content, Melissa Cobb, told Variety that the animation will likely be in the style of Dahl and that the stories will "potentially overlap." "There will be threads that connect all of them," she said.
